The River Plate team will visit San Martín de San Juan this Saturday in search of continuing their good streak in the 2025 Apertura Tournament, in the framework of the seventh round of Zone B. The match will take place at the Hilario Sánchez stadium at 21:30, officiated by Andrés Gariano and will be broadcasted on the ESPN Premium sports channel.
River arrives at the match unbeaten in the championship, having achieved three victories and three draws in the first six rounds. Matías Rojas has been cleared to play and Manuel Lanzini has recovered from an acromioclavicular sprain. In the practice before the match, coach Marcelo Gallardo will determine if Rojas will travel with the team to San Juan.
On the other hand, San Martín de San Juan has not yet managed to secure victories since their return to the Primera División, having obtained only three draws and three defeats in six matches. The pressure to achieve their first victory at home is compounded by the announcement that the Hilario Sánchez stadium will host River Plate fans.
Coach Raúl Antuña is expected to maintain the lineup that faced Gimnasia La Plata in the last match. Regarding possible lineups, River Plate could be without Giuliano Galoppo due to injury.
In case of victory, River Plate will seek their first win away from the Monumental. Marcelo Gallardo's team would present a lineup with Franco Armani in goal, Gonzalo Montiel, Germán Pezzella, Lucas Martínez Quarta, and Marcos Acuña in defense, Santiago Simón, Enzo Pérez, Maximiliano Meza, and Gonzalo Martínez in midfield, and Sebastián Driussi and Facundo Colidio in attack.
