Faced with the demanding local and international calendar, DT Marcelo Gallardo arranged a wide rotation in the match with Talleres, who despite going through a bad sporting present, surprised him with his 1-0 victory at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium.
River, with 22 units, is second in Zone A, above Newell’s Old Boys from Rosario (third) with the same score and fewer goals, Argentinos Juniors (20, fourth) and Sarmiento de Junín (20, fifth ).
Gallardo this time will play with his maximum potential against Atlético Tucumán directed by Lucas Pusineri, while he prepares to play next Wednesday in Santiago against Colo Colo from Chile, for Group F, a match that, if won, will direct his pass to the Cup final round.
Atlético Tucumán adds seven dates without winning (it only beat Patronato de Paraná 1-0) with two draws and five setbacks. As a visitor, they have totaled 13 winless games with three draws and 10 losses, all numbers that confirm that River will have to achieve three fundamental points to reach the quarterfinals.
In the history of the First Division they played eight times and the “Dean” could never win since four wins were from River and they tied the same number of times. One of those equality cost the “Millionaire” dearly and it was in Tucumán, 1 to 1 of the last date of the 2019/20 Super League that made it possible for Boca to become champion.
In the Monumental they played three times, with a balance of two local victories and a 2-2 draw in the last precedent for the 2017/18 Superliga.
