Prediction

Injury troubles continue for Gimnasia but a return for Nelson Insfran between the sticks hands them an awkward decision as to whether he deserves an immediate return between the sticks.
The arrival of Norberto Briasco adds much needed quality in the final third for Gimnasia who will hope River's focus on continental action allows them to take advantage here.
Oscar Bobb's long-term injury at Manchester City has brought into question whether Claudio Echeverri could be recalled early by City adding a potential question mark in River's midfield ranks.
With Marcelo Gallardo now settled back into life in Argentina, River will want to make a statement on the domestic front as well as in continental action.
