River Plate, which has been undefeated for six dates and gradually regains its effectiveness, tries to maintain its ascendant walk against Arsenal de Sarandí for the twelfth date of the Professional League (LPF).
The game is played at the Monumental, from 8.15pm, with Jorge Baliño arbitrating and televising by Fox Sports.
Time heals the wounds that caused River to be out of the Copa Libertadores against Atlético Mineiro and healed them based on good results, not always as a result of good play, in the League.
It was located near the top and is projected as one of the candidates for the title.
The River of Marcelo Gallardo, who before the end of the year must decide whether to continue in office or emigrate, is not the same as before, there is no opulence or a crack in every corner of the Monumental to unbalance, but in this Argentine football with a level matched down
continues to make a difference
.
Gonzalo Montiel, Exequiel Palacios, Ignacio Fernández, Gonzalo Martínez, Rafael Santos Borré and Lucas Pratto are no longer there, but the names of Franco Armani;
Fabrizio Angileri;
Nicolás De La Cruz, Enzo Pérez, Julián Álvarez and Braian Romero mark distance with the rest despite the fact that at times the operation is not as desired.
River has
six dates without losses
, with four wins and two draws.
Last date he beat Newell's in Rosario by 4 to 1 and, although in several passages of the game he did not have a good time, the "Millionaire" thrashed in large part due to the superlative performance of Álvarez.
River is aware of the potential of Lanús (which he already beat 3-0 on the road) and Talleres, and he knows that for Gallado to win his first local championship (for now he only won national Cups), I could not make mistakes and he has no space to a negative streak.
With eight games without winning, Arsenal appears as
an accessible rival for this River
, already without Sergio Rondina as coach, replaced five dates ago by Israel Damonte.
Since the arrival of the new coach,
Sarandí's team suffered two defeats and three draws and failed to score goals
, now adding 464 minutes of ineffectiveness since Braian Farioli's goal against Platense in the 2-1 defeat.

Thinking about the average and the declines of next season, Arsenal does not live a distressing reality since it surpasses eight teams in the average table, but the "savings" are consumed and if they do not begin to add up, in 2022 they could suffer.
In the history they played 28 games, with a clear advantage of River of 13 wins against 5 and 10 draws.
A curiosity: the last six games between the two were played in Sarandí and they have not met in Núñez since March 9, 2014
, the day the "Millionaire" won 1-0 (goal by Fernando Cavenaghi), for the seventh date of the Tournament End 2014.
