Newell’s vs River, for the Professional League: preview, schedule, how to watch it and probable formations

Flat Riverwho leads the standings with a lead of four points Saint Lawrence, exposes this condition this Sunday with an alternative team by visiting Newell’s, at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa stadium in the Parque Independencia de Rosario, for the 12 date of the Professional League. The match is played from 19:00, refereed by Hernán Mastrángelo and broadcast by TNT Sports.

Martín Demichelis’ team, who just beat Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata 3-0 at the Monumental de Núñez stadium, played a series of seven consecutive wins without conceding a goalin the local tournament. He accumulates 27 points and is followed by San Lorenzo, who have 23.

However, the “millionaire” technical director will appeal the rotation to preserve the usual starters for Wednesday’s match, when he will welcome Sporting Cristal from Peru, for the second round of the Copa Libertadores.

In their cup debut, River lost 3-1 to The Strongest at the Bolivian city of La Paz, which is why Demichelis decided to save the headlines to look for a victory on Wednesday to straighten his campaign after the qualification in the Libertadores.

Up against the demanding Newell’s, which with 18 points is completing a good championship, in which it has remained unbeaten at home for five games, without conceding a goal, to which must be added the 2-0 victory over Boca, in the last past date.

However, in that home fortress, Newell’s went from a good game against San Lorenzo – whom they beat 1-0 when they took the lead – to a poor performance in the Rosario classic, when they drew goalless against Central, which had the best arrivals .

Gabriel Heinze’s team, which had lost several away games, recovered in that condition by beating Audax Italiano 1-0 in Chile, for the Copa Sudamericana, and above all with the 1-0 victory over Racing, at the Cilindro di Avellaneda, with a header from Paraguayan defender Gustavo Velázquez.
