River Plate - Gimnasia LP

River Plate is trying to recover from what has happened recently in Buenos Aires. The second final of the Copa Libertadores never started after the episodes of River fans against the bus that carried the mission to Monumental, several Boca players were hit and as it is true the match did not start. Following a decision by CONMEBOL, the match will take place on December 8, as everything shows except Argentina. In the championship he has to play since the beginning of the month, the away defeat by Estudiantes with 1-0. In the cup in the previous phase he had eliminated Sarmiento de Resistencia. Scocco remains out of pure competition, as do Quintero and Rodrigo Mora. 

Gymnasia La Plata, after its 2-1 home victory over Boca Juniors, has a series of three games with unsuccessful results. Initially, the defeat by Belgrano in Cordoba was 2-0, followed by the 0-3 defeat by the champion Racing Club, while last Wednesday it was again defeated by San Martin San Juan with 0-2. In the cup for the '16' of the tournament, he left out Boca Juniors, winning it with 0-1, while in the '8', the penalty procedure was needed to reduce the resistance of Central Cordoba, 1-1, the regular duration and 3- 4 on penalties. Team coach Pedro Troglio knows this is the best time for his team to beat River and qualify for the final. The 53-year-old coach will line up the best eleven without any problems. 

Surely what has happened in the last few days in the Argentine capital will have affected River. The ultimate goal is the conquest of the Copa Libertadores, especially a conquest against its eternal opponent. Everyone's mind will definitely be on the grand final. Also, the competitive 'inaction' of two and a half weeks may affect the team. Gymnasia La Plata will appear ready to make the surprise and get the ticket for the cup final, it is a tough team that can hardly put on River.
