Gimnasia LP is clearly the worst team in the league at the moment. Last time out, they lost 2-1 to Talleres away, which represented their sixth consecutive defeat in the Superliga. Having collected a single point, El Lobo remains to occupy one of the relegation spots, 13 points from safety. Besides, they are yet to earn points at their own stadium, having lost to San Lorenzo, Defensa y Justicia and Racing Club. Â
River Plate has dropped down to the tenth spot of the Superliga table following their 2-1 home defeat to Velez Sarsfield at home, with Ignacio Fernandez missing a penalty just one minute from time. Marcelo Gallardo’s men are producing an irregular league campaign with 11 points in seven rounds. However, they have been almost perfect on away turf, registering two victories and one draw. River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo is still missing Lucas Pratto, Nicolas De la Cruz and Leonardo Ponzio due to their respective muscle issues. He would rotate his players ahead of next Tuesday’s Copa Libertadores derby against Boca Juniors at home.
It’s time for Maradona’s team to get a bit luckier because they definitely have fewer points compared to what they deserved. River will use an alternative lineup and their minds should be 100% on the Super derby vs Boca for the Copa Libertadores semifinals that they will play over the next two weeks.
