Today's game between Belgrano and River Plate will kick off at Oct 18, 2026, 7:15 PM.
Belgrano vs River Plate is available to watch live in the United States via Fanatiz and ViX, both of which carry Liga Profesional fixtures.
Belgrano host River Plate in the Liga Profesional, with Ricardo Zielinski's side looking to extend a run of form that has placed them among the stronger outfits in the division.
Belgrano arrive in confident shape. Three wins from their last five Liga Profesional matches, including a 2-0 victory over Racing Club in their most recent outing, have pushed Zielinski's side to the top of the Clausura Group B table.
River come into this fixture off the back of a draw. Leonardo Ponzio's side were held 1-1 by Sarmiento in their most recent Liga Profesional match, though that followed a 1-0 win over Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto and a run that has seen them win three of their last five league games.
The head-to-head record tilts firmly toward the visitors. River have won four of the last five meetings between these clubs, and Belgrano will need to produce something out of the ordinary to reverse that trend on home soil.
The Clausura standings give this match a sharp edge. Belgrano sit top of Clausura Group B, while River occupy second place in the Apertura Group B table, meaning both sides have reasons to push for three points.
