River Plate and Huracán meet often enough to be considered a well-known pairing, and they have traded the upper hand throughout. This time is different in that both sit on 13 points from 9 matches, so the game at the Monumental is a measure of which side can pull ahead first. River Plate have found their rhythm at just the right time, after winning three in a row in the league, and the most recent 3-1 win is one of the few matches in which they won by more than a single goal. Huracán, for their part, are not flashy but do not give in easily either. Their defence sets up in a compact block that is hard to break down, and they picked up a win in their last match. According to the expected line-ups, River Plate are likely to field Thiago Almada and Angel Correa creating together behind Sebastian Driussi, who stands as the lone centre-forward, while Huracán place Jordy Josue Caicedo Medina at the top of a 4-2-3-1 as well. The first thing to watch is how quickly River Plate can break through the visitors' block. If they have to wait for a late moment as in several recent matches, this game could also end with a narrow margin.
