Ganso will start. Alongside Savarino.

Arana, Ignácio and Castillo are also new additions.


Independiente Rivadavia 🇦🇷

The Argentine side lead the group with three points and are trying to make history in their first-ever match in Brazil.

After their unprecedented Copa Argentina title (which secured a Libertadores spot), Alfredo Berti’s team have the best campaign in the Argentine league.

They lead Group B with 29 points and are the only team already guaranteed a place in the round of 16.

Special attention goes to the trio of Florentín, Villa and Alex Arce.

Villa, formerly of Boca, has become the team’s main technical reference. Arce returned to the club last year during LDU’s Libertadores campaign.

Florentín, meanwhile, stood out for Central Córdoba, who beat Flamengo right at the Maracanã last year.

The lineup has not been announced yet.
