River Plate – Fluminense Preview: News, Recent Form, and Possible Lineups
You can read all the latest news on both teams here, including the likely River Plate vs Fluminense lineups:
River Plate
While River Plate is on a good path to win the title in Argentina since they are currently first in Primera Division with four points more than the next team, they have struggled in Copa Libertadores so far. After all, they only managed to win four points from four games. That being said, they still have a solid chance to get to the next phase since they are just two points behind The Strongest, but with two games left in group stages, River Plate can't afford any more slips.
Meanwhile, River Plate will be without Salomon Rondon and Enzo Peres through suspensions, while Enzo Diaz is injured right now.
River Plate Predicted Lineups:
Armani – Herrera, Rojas, P.Diaz, Casco – Aliendro, Paradela – De La Cruz, Fernandez, Barco – Beltran
Fluminense
With three wins in four games in Copa Libertadores, Fluminense is very close to securing a place in the next stage of the competition. Meanwhile, the team is also doing well in Serie A so far, with sixteen points from nine games, which puts them in the fifth place in the standings and five points behind league leaders Botafogo.
When it comes to team news, Marcelo, Alexsander, Keno, and Marrony are on the team's injury list right now.
Fluminense Predicted Lineups:
Fabio – Xavier, Melo, Nino, Guga – Andre, Martinelli – Arias, Ganso, Lima – Lele

Player to Watch: Lucas Beltran
With this game practically being a must-win for River Plate and with our prediction that they will win, it's only logical to choose one of their players as our player to watch.
Our choice for this game is Lucas Beltran, the team's prolific forward. The young Argentinian striker has six goals in Primera Division and three in Copa Libertadores, so it's clear that Fluminense needs to be wary of him.
