River vs. Boca, for the Professional League: formations, schedule and TV of the Superclásico

River and Boca will star in a new Superclásico of Argentine football, starting at 17 this Sunday and with a Monumental that will have about 36 thousand fans.

A new edition of the Superclásico is coming! From 17, River and Boca will stop the country again when they face each other at the Monumental, by the date 14 of the Professional League. The meeting will be led by Fernando Rapallini and it will have the special seasoning of the return of the fans after more than a year and a half. Here is everything you need to know about the game.

The two giants of Argentine soccer arrive with a great walk to a clash that promises a lot in the previous one. River comes from beating Central Córdoba 3-1, in Santiago del Estero, and drags a string of eight games without losing in the local tournament, where he plays in second place with 29 points, two behind the leader Talleres.

To try to break the streak and win again against Boca in Núñez for the domestic championship, Marcelo Gallardo will maintain the base of the team that has just triumphed on the last day. At first, The Doll would only put two variants in the eleven, of which one would be a novelty: at this time, Enzo Fernández would win the arm wrestling to be the fourth midfielder, while Braian Romero would replace Benjamín Rollheiser and would share the offense with Julián Álvarez, since it is likely that Matías Suárez will go to the substitute bench.

For its part, the Xeneize, which was imposed on Columbus in the last date, will seek to get the three points in the Monumental to prolong his undefeated with Sebastián Battaglia (he won five and tied three) and get fully into the fight for the Professional League, where today he is in sixth place with 21 units.

Although there was speculation with the possibility that the DT, who will play his first Superclásico in his new role, move the board and put three forwards, Everything seems to indicate that it will support the scheme and most of the names that have been doing it. With the return of Jorman Campuzano in the midfield axis and Agustín Almendra as a fixed, the main unknown in Boca arises in who will be the third midfielder. A priori, based on what he tested in practice, Diego González would occupy the right sector, although it is not ruled out that it can do so Cristian Medina.

Likewise, the other question goes through who will occupy the liaison role against River. In addition, up front, the Boca coach must decide if it is Cristian Pavón or Norberto Briascowho accompanies upstairs Nicolas Orsini. At this time, the Cordoba seems to have a light advantage over the former Hurricane, although a scheme with three points is not ruled out.
