How to watch today's River Plate vs Universitario de Deportes Copa Libertadores game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

River Plate host Universitario de Deportes at Estadio Mâs Monumental in Buenos Aires on Tuesday in a decisive Copa Libertadores Group B finale.

River Plate have already secured top spot in the group with 11 points from five matches and are looking to extend their unbeaten run in the competition, having produced three wins and two draws.

Marcelo Gallardo’s side, despite an early exit from the Argentine league playoffs, remain motivated to finish the group stage strongly and are expected to rotate their squad while still fielding a competitive lineup.

Universitario, meanwhile, arrive in Buenos Aires knowing their Libertadores campaign hangs in the balance. They sit second in the group with seven points, just ahead of Independiente del Valle (five points) and Barcelona SC (four points). A draw or win would guarantee their progression to the knockout stage, but a loss could see them overtaken if either of their Ecuadorian rivals win their final match.
