River, the team with the most goals in Zone A

In the four rounds of the League Cup, the “millionaire” scored 11 goals. Thus, it would be the most effective team along with Racing, a team that has the same number of goals. Six River conquests were from the Colombian Miguel Borjathe championship’s scorer.

Possible 11 for Atlético

Joseph Devecchi; Nestor Breitenbruch, Alexis Flowers, Gianluca Ferrari, Matthias Orihuela or John Infante; Renzo Tesuri or Augustin Lagos, Adrian Sanchez, Nicolas Castro, Joaquin Pereyra; Matthew Colonel or Matthew Bajamich, Marcelo Estigarribia.

This is the José Fierro Monumental

Atlético-River, a more than tight duel at the José Fierro

Since 2018, the “dean” and the “millionaire” faced each other six times at the Monumental: two victories for River, three draws and only one for Atlético. The same was in the 2019 Super League Cup, when the team led by Ricardo Zielinski beat River 3-0 Marcelo Gallardo.

Atlético, the club that Nazareno Arasa directed the most times

The referee directed the “dean” on 17 occasions, accumulating nine wins, five draws and three losses. Under his refereeing they never lost at home.

Atlético, forced to break the losing streak

Atlético will have to break the bad streak it is going through. In the current League Cup, they have not yet won and, at home, they have not won since the 1-0 victory against Talleres in the 2023 edition of the competition. Thus, they have gone four home games without knowing the victory. The last victory of the “dean” was against Gimnasia de La Plata by 2-1 on the penultimate date of the last tournament.

The duo makes a forced change

Due to the expulsion of Nicolas Romeroat double of Favio Orsi y Sergio Gomez will include in the “11” a Alexis Flores oa Gonzalo Paz. Likewise, the flyer re-enters the list of summoned Julian Carrasco.
