Team News

Club Atletico Platense
Independiente
  • Facundo Russo may drop out for Lisandro Montenegro to provide a different attacking option in this one.
  • Likewise, the midfield options may rotate after an impotent opening day performance.
  • Alexis Canelo is suspended following his red card on the opening day against Talleres.
  • There may be a few changes after a poor showing against Talleres.

Prediction

  • Platense were limited against Newells Old Boys on the opening day, but just one loss in the last eight games of Copa de la Liga shows they remain competitive.
  • Mateo Pellegrino's five goals in Copa de la Liga were a key component to Platense's ability to win out in even fixtures but whether that is sustainable or not remains to be seen.
  • Carlos Tevez is under immense pressure at Independiente and a poor opening day showing against Talleres did him no favours.
  • Inconsistency has plagued Tevez's time with El Rojo but the bright spark comes in the form of bright young talent Santiago Lopez who could be a difference maker.
