After a discreet start with a draw in the Diego Maradona Cup against Argentinos Juniors, the victory over Huracán allowed River settle in Zone A of the Championship Phase. In the last match of the year, and before the decisive classics against Boca and Independiente, Marcelo Gallardo’s team will be measured this Sunday with Arsenal.
For this duel, which is scheduled for 9:30 p.m., the Doll will recover two fundamental pieces of the midfield, such as Enzo Pérez and Ignacio Fernández, although only the Mendoza would be from the start.
Although the DT did not do tactical work and did not give clues about the alignment he will use, you are expected to put the best you have available so that his men arrive with soccer shooting at the momentous matches of January, among which the Superclásico and the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores against Palmeiras stand out.
Against the Viaduct, the Millionaire will not have Paulo Díaz, expelled last weekend in Parque Patricios and also injured, since in the last hours it was confirmed that he suffers from synovitis of the right hip.
In this way, the 11 that would come out on the playing field would be: Franco Armani; Gonzalo Montiel, Robert Rojas, Javier Pinola, Fabrizio Angileri; Bruno Zuculini, Enzo Pérez, Nicolás De La Cruz; Matías Suárez, Rafael Borré and Jorge Carrascal.
On the visit side, Sergio Rondina still has some doubts in his planning: on the right wing of the defense, Mateo Carabajal is awaited, while in the middle Facundo Pons and Alejo Antilef compete for a place.
Those of Sarandí, consequently, would come out with: Maximiliano Gagliardo; Carabajal or Ulises Abreliano, Fabio Pereyra, Gastón Suso, Nicolás Castro; Julián Navas or Pons; Leonel Picco, Emiliano Méndez, Antilef or Navas; Lucas Albertengo and Jhonatan Candia.
The history between both clubs in the First Division consists of 28 matches: River 13 wins, Arsenal 5 wins and 10 draws.
