Player to watch: Sebastian Driussi
Former Major League Soccer superstar Driussi is the player to watch in our professional River Plate vs Boca Juniors prediction, as he scored a 35th-minute goal against Gimnasia on the 18th of April.
Can the former Austin player be a decisive factor for River Plate?
Truth be told, the goal versus Gimnasia was Druissi’s debut goal for his team. However, he also supplied a teammate with an assist in one of the 11 Primera Division games. The Argentine attacking midfielder definitely has what it takes to be the difference-maker for the Millionaires.
