River Plate team news

Sebastian Driussi, Facundo Colidio and Franco Mastantuono are expected to lead the attack, with goalkeeper Franco Armani likely to be shielded by a back four of Gonzalo Montiel, Lucas Martinez Quarta, Paulo Diaz and Marcos Acuna.

Enzo Perez, Ignacio Fernandez, and Kevin Castano will lineup in the middle, as head coach Marcelo Gallardo sticks to a 4-3-3 formation.

The quartet of Santiago Beltran, Gonzalo Martinez, Augustin Ruberto and Matias Rojas are all ruled out through injuries, while Gonzalo Montiel is doubtful.

Atletico Platense team news

Platense boss Sergio Gomez will not be able to call upon the services of Jonathan Bay, Tobias Cervera, Gonzalo Goni and Maximiliano Rodriguez due to injury issues.

Relying on a quick transition in attack, Ronaldo Martinez will start behind Augusto Lotti up front, with Guido Mainero and Vicente Taborda on the wings.

Juan Pablo Cozzani will look to record another clean sheet, with Juan Ignacio Saborido, Ignacio Vazquez, Oscar Salomon and Tomas Silva forming the back three. Rodrigo Herrera and Leonel Picco will be deployed as the defensive midfielders.
