The River Plate will stop at Arsenal in Sarandi on Wednesday to sanction the victory that allowed them to put together two consecutive victories and to bridge the gap with the leader of Atlético Tucumán, in the continuity of the date 14 of the Professional League.
The match will be played from 19:00 at the Julio Humberto Grondona stadium in Sarandí, with Sebastián Zunino as referee and broadcast by ESPN Premium. In the VAR there will be Mauro Vigliano and Andrés Merlos.
Marcelo Gallardo’s team will go out on the pitch with the result of Atlético Tucumán leader, who will appear earlier in Victoria against Tigre.
The “Millionaire”, therefore, who defends the title won in December of last year, will be able to conclude the date that will mark the middle of the tournament at four, seven or ten points from the leaders of the standings, in the worst case scenario.
After beating Newell’s 4-1 in one of the tournament’s best performances, River will seek his third straight win which confirms the team’s recovery after the painful elimination against Vélez in the Copa Libertadores.
River have won four of their last five games and as a guest have a draw and two wins in a row.
They will face a tough rival, given that Arsenal have lost only two league games: their debut against Boca (2-1) at the Bombonera and the tenth round against Rosario Central (3-0) at the Viaducto.
The team led by Leonardo Madelón has 17 points and is not higher because, together with San Lorenzo, it is the team with the most draws in the league (eight).
Arsenal once again became strong at home and showed it in their last appearance by beating point guard Atlético Tucumán (3-1) and closing the unbeaten record.
