River Plate host Belgrano in the Liga Profesional, a fixture that carries more weight than a standard league meeting. With both clubs sitting inside the top five of Clausura Group B, the points matter — and so does the occasion.
River arrive in strong domestic shape under Eduardo Coudet. Three Liga Profesional wins from their last four league outings have kept them at the summit of Clausura Group B, and the Millonarios have shown they can grind out results as well as dominate opponents.
Belgrano come into this fixture with serious momentum. Ricardo Zielinski's side have won four of their last five Liga Profesional matches, and they sit level at the top of Clausura Group B alongside River. The Pirata are not here to make up the numbers.
The backdrop to this match adds another layer. Tottenham's injured captain Cristian Romero chose to fly back to Argentina to watch his boyhood club Belgrano in this fixture rather than support his Premier League teammates during their relegation decider — a decision that drew widespread criticism in England but speaks to exactly what this match means to those with a connection to Córdoba.
River's record against Belgrano at home is formidable, and the Monumental will provide a hostile environment for the visitors. Belgrano, though, have already shown this season that they are capable of winning on the road.
