River’s best centre-back, you could even say that he is one of the best in Argentine football. It is true that Millo has lost its last two games, in one it was not present and in the other it was one of the keys to the result being negative only by the minimum. He is without a doubt the savior of the Núñez team.

Leandro González Pirez will not be able to be present in this duel due to a tear, therefore, it will be the time for the Uruguayan to shine and perhaps establish himself in the team or, at least, gain more confidence by adding minutes. He is a player that many River Plate fans want to be able to see on the court more often because of his good level every time he can play. He even has one goal
per cup and it is precisely against Deportivo Táchira.

He maintains an enormous level, with an excellent goal average since the beginning of the year, especially in the Más Monumental. He has a lot of ideas about the game and projects great scoring opportunities, he cannot be missing, however, he is the only player at risk of being penalized for yellow cards, so the coach will have to make a decision.

It is at a fairly low level compared to a few months ago. That goal in the final against Estudiantes that seemed to raise the player’s level was far away, currently he shows a normal game, very different from the one River acquired. But in games like these, he can stand out a lot and gain confidence to return to his best level.

The Colombian could be one of the scorers of the night. It helps him to score not only for his personal account, but it would contribute to Millo’s classification as first in the group, and increases his figure to be present on the final list for the Copa América.
