River Plate 1-1 Huracan - Liga Profesional 2024 Statistical Preview

German Pezzella and Fabricio Bustos will want to play as soon as possible with both eligible for continental action soon after.
Miguel Borja is an injury absentee after suffering a small hamstring tear which will also keep him out of the Libertadores tie with Talleres.

An unchanged lineup will be no surprise after Huracan took on yet another title contender and proved their worth last time out.

Prediction

Marcelo Gallardo has returned much sooner than anticipated for River Plate after his unsuccessful Saudi Arabian stint. His return to the dugout has completely transformed the mood for River Plate.
German Pezzella and Fabricio Bustos are two major defensive reinforcements for River and they will want to bed them in before the return to continental action.
Losing Ignacio Pussetto's surprise departure could have diminished Huracan's title credentials but recent results show they are up for the fight.
Huracan remain unbeaten in the league but this is arguably their biggest challenge as they hope to spoil Gallardo's return party.
