El Millonario closed his participation in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores with a clear victory and a qualification to the round of 16 that placed him as the best of all the leaders. And beyond the joy of the goal achieved, it is a chapter that is left behind, at least for the moment. Martín Demichelis’ team once again put its focus on the local level and on the 2024 Professional League, where it needs to return to victory to stay within striking distance of the lead.
This Sunday night, River will host Tigre in another packed Monumental Stadium, with the aim of returning to victory after the hard setback in La Paternal. The Millionaire has just left a pale image against Argentinos Jrs. and suffered his first defeat in the tournament. On the last date, several teams surpassed him in the standings. For this reason, they need to embrace themselves again with a victory that allows them to remain in the top zone.
Facing this match against the Matador de Victoria, the Millionaire did not have much time to rest and replenish energy. After Thursday’s victory against Táchira, Martín Demichelis had two training sessions to prepare for this match against Tigre. And what is a certainty and good news for River is that it will be able to count on the vast majority of its players, since none of them suffered injuries or discomfort.
The other good thing for the millionaire coach is that recovered a key piece: Nacho Fernández. The midfielder He left behind the severe trauma he suffered against Temperley in the Argentine Cup and is now at the disposal of Martín Demichelis. The midfielder was once again part of an extensive list of those called up, among which are all the players who will join the different teams in the coming hours. And that tonight they will say goodbye to the River fans at the Monumental, at least for a while.
The probable River team vs. Tiger
The millionaire coach could make three variations with respect to the team that has just defeated Deportivo Táchira for the Copa Libertadores: the income of Milton Casco for Enzo Díaz, of Rodrigo Villagra for Nicolás Fonseca and of Esequiel Barco for Pablo Solari.
How would you form River vs. Tiger? With Franco Armani Agustín Sant’Anna, Sebastián Boselli, Paulo Díaz, Milton Casco; Rodrigo Villagra, Matías Kranevitter; Claudio Echeverri, Esequiel Barco; Facundo Colidio and Miguel Ángel Borja.
