🚨Confirmed XIs: Racing and River battle for a quarter-final spot | OneFootball

Argentinian football comes to a standstill today with a thrilling "Avellaneda classic" between Racing Club and River Plate, for the first match of the quarter-finals of the Clausura Tournament Play-offs of the Professional League. The match will be played as a single game at the Presidente Perón Stadium.

Racing, which reached the play-offs as the second in its zone, arrives in great form. Gustavo Costas' team relies on the support of its fans and the hierarchy of figures like Adrián Martínez to make a statement in this knockout clash.

River Plate, classified as third, arrives in Avellaneda with the pressure of winning a title that has eluded them. Marcelo Gallardo's team will have to overcome their inconsistency as visitors. The key will be in the midfield and in La Academia's ability to dismantle River's possession. A highly tense match is expected, possibly decided by individual brilliance.
