River Plate, encouraged by a win against Godoy Cruz, will try to get closer to the top of Zone A when it receives Racing Club this Sunday, a team against which it exercises a historic paternity and has just beaten it a little more than 20 days ago (5-0 ) in the final of the Argentine Super Cup.

The match, valid for the seventh date of the Professional League Cup, will be played at the Monumental stadium from 6.30 pm, with the refereeing by Fernando Rapallini and televised by TNT Sports.

River adds 10 units in six dates in this cup and wants to get closer to the Colon leader.

Regarding the formation of River, DT Marcelo Gallardo determined a change with the return of Milton Casco (he complied with the suspension) marking the left wing by David Martínez.

While in Racing the variants would be three: the goalkeeper Gabriel Arias recovered from Covid-19 and will replace Matías Tagliamonte, the youthful Juan Cáceres would go from "4" for the torn Ezequiel Schelotto and Ignacio Piatti would enter for Aníbal Moreno in the middle of court.

Since the Monumental stadium was inaugurated in 1938, Racing only won 10 times there in 82 years and the last was on June 18, 2017, when led by Diego Cocca, they won 3-2, after being 3-0, with goals from Lautaro Martínez, Marcos Acuña and Miguel Barbieri, discounting Marcelo Larrondo and Jonatan Maidana for River.
