One win in their last four is not quite the run the hosts would have fancied, but if anything can get them up for a fight, it will be an Argentine derby.
Velez know that with a trip away to come, they could really do with a favourable result in this first leg.
Predicted Velez starting XI: Hoyos; Guidara, De los Santos, Gomez, Ortega; Garayalde, Perrone, Sonora; Orellano, Pratto, Janson
Position | River roster |
---|---|
Goalkeepers | Armani, Petroli, Centurion |
Defenders | Rojas, Maidana, Martinez, González Pirez, Herrera, Diaz, Casco, Pinola, Mammana, Gomez |
Midfielders | Zuculini, Palavecino, Quintero, De La Cruz, Fernandez, Barco, Perez, Paradela, Aliendro, Simon, Pochettino |
Forwards | Suarez, Alvarez, Beltran, Londono, Romero |
With seven goals netted in their past two games, River are hot to touch right now - and they'll hope they can continue that rich vein of form with another blowout here.
Velez will prove a trickier test though, and they will need to keep their wits about them to take an advantage on the road.
Predicted River starting XI: Armani; Mammana, Diaz, Martinez, Gomez; Perez, Fernandez, Paradela; Simon, Alvarez, Barco
