River Plate host Huracan in a Liga Profesional Group B fixture, with Leonardo Ponzio's side looking to build on a strong recent run of results.
River come into this match in their best form of the campaign. They have won three of their last five competitive matches, including a 2-1 victory over Atletico Tucuman on September 12 — a win secured despite the squad needing to change buses after their official team transport became wedged on a ramp outside their hotel. That kind of resilience speaks to the character Ponzio has built in this group.
The Enzo Fernandez transfer to Manchester City has dominated the off-pitch conversation at River, but the squad has responded on the pitch. Three Liga Profesional wins in their last five outings — including away victories at Banfield and against Independiente Rivadavia — suggest the side is finding answers from within.
Huracan arrive in considerably more uncertain shape. Diego Martinez's men have drawn three of their last four Liga Profesional matches, and their most recent outing ended 1-1 against Belgrano. They sit sixth in Clausura Group B, level with River, and need a positive result to separate themselves in the standings.
The visitors' only Liga Profesional win in their last five came against San Lorenzo, a 2-0 result that now feels some time ago. Martinez will demand more attacking intent from his side, particularly on the road.
With both clubs occupying the same position in Clausura Group B, the points are genuinely significant. Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch River Plate vs Huracan, including live stream options, TV channel details, and kick-off time.
