  • River Plate faces Rosario Central on Sunday in a crucial match for both teams in the Clausura 2026 tournament.
  • Both teams are in dire need of points, with River losing their first two matches and Rosario Central having only one point.

River Plate and Rosario Central are set to clash on Sunday in a pivotal match of the Clausura 2026 tournament's Group B, with both sides desperately seeking a victory.

The stakes are high as River Plate currently sits at the bottom of their group, having lost both of their opening two matches. Their first defeat came against Barracas Central, followed by another narrow loss to Gimnasia de La Plata. Rosario Central, meanwhile, has managed only a single point from their first two games, resulting in an eleventh-place standing in the league.

River Plate's coach, Eduardo 'Chacho' Coudet, is expected to make at least three changes to the lineup. Anรญbal Moreno is likely to return from injury, potentially replacing Mauro Arambarri. The left-back position is contested between Lautaro Rivero and Facundo Gonzรกlez due to Marcos Acuรฑa's injury. Additionally, รngel Correa is dealing with a thigh issue, which could see Lautaro Pereyra step in.

Rosario Central's manager, Jorge Almirรณn, is also planning alterations, with Giovanni Cantizano and Tomรกs Badaloni possibly making way for Facundo Mallo and Enzo Copetti. This could shift their formation from a 4-3-3 to a 3-4-3, with Mallo playing as a sweeper alongside Ignacio Ovando and Gastรณn รvila, and Copetti leading the line as the sole striker.

The match is scheduled for Sunday at 7:15 PM local time at the Estadio Monumental and will be televised live on ESPN Premium. Comprehensive live coverage, including statistics, will be available on canchallena.com.
