Rivadavia arrives at home with full force

Alfredo Berti has a practically complete cast. Goalkeeper Ramiro Macagno is the only confirmed casualty due to a muscle injury. The coach must repeat the foundation that comes from convincing victories.

The attack’s main reference is the Paraguayan Álex Arce. Ele has already scored four goals in the competition. Sebastián Villa and Fabrizio Sartori complete the offensive line with speed and presence in the area.

• Nicolás Bolcato
• Ezequiel Bonifacio, Sheyko Studer, Iván Villalba, Luciano Gómez
• José Florentín, Tomás Bottari, Matías Fernández
• Sebastián Villa, Fabrizio Sartori, Álex Arce

Essa training prioritizes high marking and quick transitions. The team is coming off a 1-1 draw with Aldosivi at Campeonato Argentino last Sunday.

Fluminense seeks reaction away from home

Luis Zubeldía prepares changes to the team. The midfield suffers from the absence of Facundo Bernal, who is suspended. Martinelli remains injured. The return of Lucho Acosta could add more creativity to the attack.

Tricolor has difficulty scoring against Libertadores. Após suffered a 2-1 defeat at home against Rivadavia itself, the team drew with Deportivo La Guaira and lost other commitments. The defense needs to recover to contain the local momentum.
