Flat Riverleader of the Professional Soccer League, receives today Gymnastics and Fencing La Plata with a mission to extend his streak of five wins in a row, in the outgoing game of four that will complete the 11 date.
The match will be played at the Monumental stadium from 19:30 with the refereeing of Darío Herrera of Neuquén and will be broadcast by TNT Sports.
Martín Demichelis’ side lead the league with 24 points and, after their fifth consecutive win after beating Huracán (3-0) away, ensured they finished top again.
“Lobo”, with 11 points, achieved an excellent victory against Racing Club (3-1) at Forest which allowed him to add again after two defeats in a row.
Gymnastics will face the match against Núñez’s team with an alternative team because coach Sebastián Romero preferred to rest most of the starters.
The record between the two sees a clear predominance of the River since out of 160 comparisons, the “Millionaire” has won 86 against the 33 of “Lobo” plus 41 draws.
The last Gymnastics party against River dates back to 2018, again in November and led by Pedro Troglio, when he eliminated him on penalties from the semi-final of the Argentina Cup after a 2-2 draw in the match played in Mar del Plata.
