After the heavy blow suffered at the Monumental against Tigre, River visits Argentinos Juniors this Thursday for the fifth round of the 2026 Apertura Tournament. And they do so with a thirst for revenge after being defeated by a wide margin at home.
For the team from La Paternal, the match also represents a golden opportunity to climb in Zone B, as they need to earn three points, something they haven't done since the first matchday.

River knows they have no room for error if they want to prove that last week's performance was just a stumble in their championship quest.
The "Muñeco" left nothing to chance and decided to make significant tactical changes to the starting lineup to seek greater balance. The big surprise is the inclusion of Agustín Ruberto in the starting XI.
