River Plate, leader of the Professional Football League (LPF) but last in group D of the Copa Libertadores, receives on Wednesday the leader Fluminense, of Brazil, with the obligation to win to have a chance of qualifying for the knockout stages. In a packed Monumental, the Colombian Wilmar Roldán is the referee and the television is Fox Sports and Star +.
The team led by Martín Demichelis plays much of its football year against Fluminense, the leader of the area, which seeks to seal its classification.
The "Millionaire" adds 4 points and is in the last position since it has a worse goal difference than Sporting Cristal, from Peru, with which it drew 1-1 in Lima in its last presentation.
Fluminense leads group D with 9 points and with a victory in Núñez ensures the classification and probably the first place.
River reached this uncomfortable situation in the Copa Libertadores due to the defeats in the height of La Paz against The Strongest (3-1) in the debut and the thrashing (5-1) suffered in Rio de Janeiro against its rival on Wednesday.
Fluminense arrives as leader of the group but is not in the same tune as it had when it thrashed River 5-1 at the Maracana stadium.
