River, who have amassed two wins in a row and reach this date as escorts for San Lorenzo, can climb to the top of the professional league this Sunday if they win in their visit to Sarmiento de Junín, who are fighting for permanence. the picture of the eighth day.

The match will be played from 21:30, at the Eva Perón stadium in Junín, with TNT Sports television and the refereeing of Ariel Penel.

River have 15 points in the league, just one less than the leaders, San Lorenzo -they will play against Newell’s in Rosario on Monday-, and have just beaten Lanús (2-0) and Godoy Cruz de Mendoza (3-0) as hosts and local, respectively.

Martín Demichelis’ side seemed to find the way it worked by switching the dual center forward scheme to 4-2-3-1, with Lucas Beltrán -three goals- as the point of reference for the area.

For his part, Sarmiento, who walks irregularly, has eight units and will have the obligation to add at home where he won just one (4-1 against Rosario Central) and lost two more (1-0 against San Lorenzo and 5-3 against the Central Barracks).

Furthermore, the average has been chasing him since Platense, with Saturday’s victory against Defensa y Justicia, reached him in the penultimate place in the relegation standings.

The last time Sarmiento received the River was on April 30 last year, when Marcelo Gallardo’s side at the time won a landslide 7-0, with world champions Franco Armani -he will repeat his appearance-, Julián Álvarez and Enzo Fernández in the starting team.
