River Plate preview: Gunning for another win
With four wins in their last six games in all competitions, River Plate have been in good form recently. Unfortunately for them, one of the losses came in Copa Argentina, so they've been eliminated from that competition.

When it comes to team news, Ignacio Fernandez, Manuel Lanzini, Leandro Gonzalez Pirez, and Ramiro Funes Mori are out with injuries at the moment.

Player to watch: Miguel Borja
The experienced forward from Colombia is River Plate's top scorer in Copa Libertadores this season with five goals, but he has yet to score in Primera Division.
Will Borja score first?
We saw Borja score the first goal in three games in Copa Liberatores this season, so we might see this happen again in the game against Tigre.
