In-form River Plate hosts their city rivals San Lorenzo in this match that is expected to set the city on fire. The home side would feel they need the points more than their visitors and should pick all of them up here.<\/p>\n
River are looking to qualify for next season’s\u00a0Copa Sudamericana, however, they also have the chance to qualify for the\u00a0\u00a0Libertadores by the end of the season if they can finish 6th and one of the teams win the continental competition they are competing in this year.<\/p>\n
Victory at all cost is what River Plate would be gunning for in this game and their fans would be very positive that they can get it after seeing their team rise from the 21st position on the league table to where they are now.<\/p>\n
San Lorenzo are not playing their best football at the moment and they would be coming into this game with some tired legs after they managed to hang on against Brazil’s\u00a0Atletico Mineiro to progress in the Copa Sudamericana in midweek.<\/p>\n
Coming into this clash, the side have won just 2 of their 8 away games across all competitions this year, also failing to score in the last two, and that has their prospects looking bleak, particularly taking into account the changes set to be made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
