Where to Watch River Plate vs. Aldosivi in the 2026 Copa Argentina Today

River Plate and Aldosivi of Mar del Plata are set to clash this Friday at 9:45 PM local time in Salta's Padre Martearena stadium for the final round of 16 match in the 2026 Copa Argentina. The crucial knockout game will be broadcast live on TyC Sports, with online streaming available through platforms like Flow, DGO, Telecentro Play, and TyC Sports Play.

The Millonario, River Plate, enters the match following a narrow 1-0 victory over Ciudad de Bolívar in the previous round. The team is eager to continue its progression in the Copa Argentina, especially after losing the Torneo Clausura final earlier in the year. This season, they are competing in the Copa Sudamericana instead of the Copa Libertadores.

Following their loss to Belgrano de Córdoba, River Plate underwent significant squad restructuring. Several key players departed, including Giuliano Galoppo, Germán Pezzella, Paulo Díaz, Kendry Páez, and Matías Viña, along with goalkeeper Franco Armani. The club has since brought in new talent such as Mauro Arambarri, Giovanni González, Rafael Santos Borré, and Lucas Beltrán. Nicolás Otamendi is expected to join after concluding his participation in the 2026 World Cup with the Argentine national team.

Aldosivi, managed by Andrés Yllana, travels to Salta with aspirations of causing an upset against one of the tournament's favorites. While their primary focus is on the Torneo Clausura, where they need to secure points to avoid relegation, they also aim to make a mark in the Copa Argentina. They reached this stage by defeating San Miguel 3-0 in their opening match.

River Plate is the clear favorite according to betting odds, with a victory payout of 1.41 compared to Aldosivi's 8.95. A draw, leading to penalties, pays up to 4.44. The two teams met earlier this year in April during the Torneo Apertura 2026, with River Plate winning 3-1 at the Estadio Monumental.
