The coach of River, Martin Demichelishas unknowns in all the lines of the team to face the classic against Mouth in the candy box because of the irregular performances of the formations he used in recent weeks.
Despite the abundance of players, in these early dates of the League Cupthe coach did not find the basis of the team and facing the match against Boca the name and system changes could continue.
In the half dozen dates that the tournament runs, Demichelis already used three different game systems; the 4-2-3-1 with which he became champion, he also chose a 4-3-3 against Velez and on Sunday in front of banfield He played a 4-1-3-2.
The “millionaire” coach has the first unknown in the tactical system and although his favorite is the 4-3-3, it is still not known which one he will use in the candy box on Sunday and even less with which players he is going to carry it out.
For now, due to statements from the coach and because he gave them rest last Sunday against “Taladro”, five players have their place guaranteed: Franco Armani, Paulo Díaz, Milton Casco, Enzo Pérez and Nicolás De La Cruz.
The doubts in the defense
With these names, the first doubt arises in the defense with Ramiro Funes Moriwho although he is the only player who played every minute of the League Cup, had poor performance. Plus, he’s ready to come back. Leandro González Pirezwho has not played since August 8.
The return of Pirez It seems like a risk due to the inactivity caused by the metatarsalgia to the point that if he plays on Sunday he would do so after almost two months of layoff, but the level of Funes Mori.
The doubts in the midfield
In the steering wheel area, both From the cross like the captain Enzo Perez They are undisputed players. Thus, two or three more places remain in case he plays with one forward or with two in the team’s offensive phase.
In that sector of the field the list is very long; Rodrigo Aliendro, Matías Kranevitter, Bruno Zuculini and Agustín Palavecino They could be the captain’s companions in the containment part and some of them will also be left out of the concentration list.
In the area of creation something similar happens with those who can be associated with the Uruguayan From the crossall “starting” players, like Ignacio Fernández, Esequiel Barco, Manuel Lanzini and now too Gonzalo “Pity” Martínez.

The doubts in front
Finally, the lead is another big unknown because there is a place or two: the 5 forwards of the team played and none of them took the position since the departure of Lucas Beltranwho was the last player with the seal of undisputed starter up front.
The center forward spot has the fight between Miguel Borja with 360 minutes, 5 starting and 1 substitute, and two goals scored; and Salomon Rondonwho started from the back, has 160 minutes with 5 games, 1 as a starter and 4 as a substitute, and also 2 goals.

Furthermore, if some tests are taken into account, it is Facundo Colidio to be able to also be an area forward. The former Tigre was present in all the matches of the League Cupas holder before Velezand then always entering the second beats.
The other striker with a chance of starting is Pablo Solariwith two appearances as a starter and 6 as a substitute, and who is also the scorer of the semester with 5 goals and a couple of assists if the games with Inter by Libertadores Cup.

Finally, on the list of forwards is Matias Suarezwho lost ground after knee problems and is the one who has added the fewest minutes in this second part of the year with only twenty on two occasions, but his historical surname is always in the front row.
The formation that stopped this Thursday Demichelis
Franco Armani Andrés Herrera, Leandro González Pirez, Paulo Díaz, Milton Casco; Enzo Pérez, Nicolás De la Cruz; Nacho Fernández, Manuel Lanzini, Esequiel Barco; Miguel Borja.
Despite not being a definitive formation, the surprise for many revolves around a new absence of Enzo Diazwho did not even play against Arsenal neither Atlético Tucumán in it Monumental.
It is not yet a definitive team because there are two practices left and in them the coach will surely try out more changes.
So things for Demicheliswho will try to achieve a good result against Mouth that takes him out of the team’s poor performances and especially the crisis that arose after the defeat against Velez by transcending internal group talks.
