Riverwho left behind the elimination of the Argentine Cup with goals against Argentinos and Estudiantes, visit this Sunday in Patronage – his “executioner” in the federal competition – in Paraná, for the 24th date of the Professional Soccer League (LPF).
The match will be played at 20:30 at the Presbítero Bartolomé Grella stadium, with referee Patricio Loustau and ESPN Premium television.
Marcelo Gallardo’s team was excluded from the Cup in the quarter-finals against “Patrón”, who eliminated them 4-3 on penalties after drawing 2-2 in 90 minutes, although they raised their heads after beating 3 -0 the Argentines and 5-0 at Estudiantes de La Plata in the last two dates of the championship.
Far from the top, River wants to at least continue to enrich the championship tournament in view of 2023 (still not knowing if Gallardo will continue to coach) and try to qualify for the next Copa Libertadores through the annual ranking.
After the 1-0 defeat to Colón in Santa Fe last Wednesday, in which manager Facundo Sava rested several starters, several players who usually make up the starting line-up will return to the Board of Trustees.
To guarantee the permanence in the First Division, Patronato must win and to lose Arsenal – they have 8 points of advantage – and Aldosivi – they have one – with 4 dates from the end of the competition.
