Lanus team news

Lanús are riding a wave of confidence after a gritty run in both league and cup. They may be without midfielder Dylan Aquino, instrumental in their recent Sudamericana triumph, who picked up a knock and could be a doubt.

Defensive anchor José María Canale and attacking threat Franco Watson are fit and expected to start. Striker Walter Bou, a consistent scoring threat, leads the line. 

River Plate team news

River Plate look sharp in attack, having scored four against Godoy Cruz, with Sebastián Driussi and Giuliano Galoppo both netting braces. The squad rotated for their successful Copa Libertadores second leg, which should keep most regulars fresh for this league clash. 

Marcelo Gallardo’s side has no major injuries or suspensions reported, and the predicted front three includes Driussi, Galoppo, and Ignacio Fernández. Defensive lineup likely features Fabricio Bustos and Milton Casco. River Plate’s depth gives them the flexibility to tweak the lineup, but expect the core starters as they push to retain their lead at the top of the table.
