River Platestimulated by last week’s victory in Avellaneda over Independiente, he receives Newell’s old boys with the mission of obtaining a victory to reduce the difference of 10 units that separates him from the leader of Atlético Tucumán, in a match of the 13th round of the Professional football championship (LPF).

The match will be played at the Más Monumental stadium, in the Núñez neighborhood of Buenos Aires, starting at 20:30, with the arbitration of Fernando Echenique and the television of TNT Sports.

River do the math and after this day there will remain 14 games with 42 points up for grabs, being 10 behind Atlético Tucumán, who beat Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero 1-0 on Thursday evening.

The Newells, meanwhile, fell apart little by little after an excellent start to the tournament in which they remained undefeated for eight days, but the defeat against Rosario Central in the classic hit the team hard and nothing was the same.

After the classic Newell has just scored one point out of nine, totaling seven days without a win and placing 11 behind the Tucumans.

In total they played 159 games with River Plate leading 76 wins against 42 and 41 draws.
