River faces The strongest this Tuesday from 19:00 at the Hernando Siles stadium in La Paz for group D of the Libertadores Cup. The appointed referee for the match is Jesus Valenciala and will be broadcast on Fox Sports and Star+.

He Millionaire trained by Martin Demicheliswill make his debut in the 2023 Copa Libertadores. Per Michothe coach who came to replace the idolized Marcelo Gallardo, will be his first directing experience in that race and will have to overcome a problem, which for his rival is an advantage: the height of La Paz.

It houses the stadium of the Bolivian team, which currently leads the league in the national competition 3,625 meters high above sea level, which generates greater pressure and, also, physical wear and tear that is not natural for Argentine teams. Although there appears to be a small difference in the game in favor of the Buenos Aires team, the height evens out the conditions. The last match between them, on the same stage, was a draw 1-1.

Nuñez’s team leads the Professional Soccer League standings, moving 4 points ahead of their immediate pursuers San Lorenzo, Racing and Rosario Central.

For this meeting Demichelis will not have the presence of the Uruguayan Nicholas DeLa Cruz due to the fact that he was out with inflammation in his knee suffering from an old trauma after playing 53 minutes in the match against Unión de Santa Fe.

The Strongest will receive River after almost a month without official competition since the Bolivian tournament stopped a few days before the break for the FIFA appointment.

The team led by the Spaniard Ismael Rescalvo, who took over from the Argentine Claudio “Pampa” Biaggio, leads the championship with 16 points in six rounds.
