Gimnasia La Plata is set to host River Plate this Wednesday at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo stadium in La Plata for the second matchday of the Torneo Clausura. The game, scheduled for 7:15 PM, will be officiated by Leandro Rey Hilfer and broadcast by ESPN Premium.

River Plate arrives at the match looking to turn its season around after a challenging start. The team, managed by Eduardo Coudet, suffered a 3-1 defeat against Aldosivi, leading to their elimination from the Copa Argentina. They followed this with a 1-0 loss to Barracas Central in their opening league match at home. For this encounter, River will debut its new primary jersey for the 2026/27 season.

Gimnasia also seeks to recover from an initial setback. The team lost its opening match 2-1 against Racing in Avellaneda. Adding to their challenges, Gimnasia will be without Marcelo Torres, who sustained an injury after missing a penalty during their debut game.

In addition to the match itself, the pre-game festivities in La Plata will include tributes to the Argentine national team, with banners reading "thank you national team" and "the Malvinas are Argentine" to be displayed. The atmosphere is building for a significant league fixture as both clubs aim to secure crucial points and improve their performance.
