River Plate team news

River Plate come into this match on the back of a commanding 3-0 win over Barracas Central in the domestic league. However, they will be without key right-back Gonzalo Montiel, who suffered a relapse of a muscle injury and is expected to be sidelined for at least 10 days, ruling him out of this Libertadores clash.

Fabricio Bustos is likely to deputize at right-back in Montiel’s absence.

Independiente del Valle team news

Independiente del Valle are also in good form, having recently defeated Técnico Universitario 2-1 in their domestic league. There are no major injury or suspension concerns reported for this fixture, so manager Javier Rabanal is expected to field his strongest available lineup.
