Next Sunday, River Plate will host Atlético Tucumán in a match of the ninth round of the Apertura Tournament of the Professional Football League. The match will take place at the Monumental stadium at 19:15 and will be broadcast on ESPN Premium, with Leandro Rey Hilfer as the referee.
River Plate enters this match positioned fourth in Zone B with 15 points, looking to recover after their recent defeat to Talleres de Córdoba in the International Supercup. The team, managed by Marcelo Gallardo, is going through a challenging time after two adverse results, which has generated internal tensions due to a lack of good performance in the game.
In their last match, River lost 2-0 to Estudiantes de La Plata at home and then lost on penalties against Talleres de Córdoba. Despite this, the Núñez team sees this match as an opportunity to secure three important points and stay in the fight for the leadership of Zone B.
On the other hand, Atlético Tucumán arrives at this encounter in tenth position in Zone B, with only seven points. The team managed by Lucas Pusineri has had a difficult start to the season, accumulating five defeats in their last seven matches.
In the last match between River Plate and Atlético Tucumán, which took place at the same Monumental stadium, Núñez's team won decisively 4-1. This time, both teams will seek to impose their game and earn vital points in the competition.
The possible lineups and details of the match will be confirmed as the date of the encounter approaches, which promises to be an intense duel in the context of the Apertura Tournament of the Professional Football League.
