River’s coach will rest some starters ahead of the clásico against San Lorenzo.

At the Misael Delgado Sports Stadium in Valencia, on Matchday 4 of the Conmebol Sudamericana Cup Group H, River visit Venezuela’s Carabobo aiming to claim their third straight win in the competition and move closer to direct qualification for the round of 16.

For this match, River coach Eduardo Coudet is considering fielding an alternative lineup, as he wants to rest certain starters such as Gonzalo Montiel, Lautaro Rivero, and Aníbal Moreno, who are not even included in the squad list.

In this regard, Santiago Beltrán will remain in goal, while the defense would feature two changes compared to the team that lost to Atlético Tucumán, as Fabricio Bustos and Germán Pezzella would keep their places, while Lucas Martínez Quarta and Matías Viña would come in for Rivero and Acuña.

Moving to midfield, both Aníbal Moreno and Tomás Galván would be rested. That is why Maximiliano Meza would once again start, alongside his brother Juan Cruz Meza and Giuliano Galoppo as the third midfielder. In addition, Juan Fernando Quintero would come in for Subiabre to play as the attacking midfielder.

Finally, there would also be two changes up front, as Joaquín Freitas and Maximiliano Salas would replace Agustín Ruberto and Facundo Colidio respectively after a poor showing in River’s home defeat to Atlético Tucumán.
