🚨 Confirmed XIs: River kick off the season at the Monumental | OneFootball

River Plate hosts Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata this Wednesday at 20:00 for the second matchday of the 2026 Torneo Apertura. The Estadio Más Monumental will be the stage for a clash between two teams that started off on the right foot and are looking to consolidate their leadership at the beginning of the tournament.

The "Millonario" led by Marcelo Gallardo arrives with the momentum of having defeated Barracas Central 1-0 in their debut. With a performance that showed greater defensive order, River will try to strengthen at home to keep climbing. However, it won't be easy against the "Lobo," who made a big impact in the first round by defeating Racing 2-1 at the Bosque.

The team from La Plata, solidified under the leadership of Fernando Zarinatto, arrives in Núñez without any complexes and with the intention of repeating the feat to spoil the party for the Núñez team.
