new night of Libertadores Cup for River and it will not be just another game. If you keep the three points, El Millonario will qualify not only for the round of 16 but also for the 2025 Club World Cup. From 9:00 p.m., the Greatest faces Uruguay’s Nacional in the Great Central Park with four thousand River Plate souls in the stands.
Martín Demichelis had several days to prepare for the match and that is why he decided to bring all the available players. At the last moment he suffered the loss of Manuel Lanzini due to a dragging trauma to his right foot and that is why number 10 was left out. The rest of the footballers traveled to Paraguay and the starting eleven has already been confirmed.
River’s formation against Nacional
Franco Armani Andrés Herrera, Leandro González Pirez, Paulo Díaz, Enzo Díaz; Ignacio Fernández, Rodrigo Villagra, Rodrigo Aliendro; Claudio Echeverri; Facundo Colidio and Miguel Borjathe eleven chosen by Demichelis to face Nacional from Uruguay.
Regarding the duel against Libertad almost fifteen days ago, The only change is the entry of Facundo Colidio instead of Pablo Solari. There were doubts all week around the right back and finally Demichelis decided to keep Herrera despite having only trained one day at the same time.
What does River need to qualify for the Club World Cup?
By taking the three points from Montevideo, the Greatest will secure its place in the 2025 Club World Cup by Conmebol ranking, regardless of other results. Neither Nacional itself, nor Cerro Porteño and Independiente del Valle, the other clubs that were fighting far behind to catch up, will be able to match his line.
