Copa Libertadores
Nacional vs River Plate
19:30 ET
Last week, Marcelo Gallardo's team took an important step towards the semifinals with a 2-0 home run at the Independiente stadium in Avellaneda, in a match marked by several disputed failures despite the use of VAR.
River Plate, current runner-up of the Copa Libertadores, will be able to go to the next round with a win, a draw, a 1-0 defeat and even by two goals if they manage to score a goal or more in Montevideo.
For its part, Nacional hopes to solve the offensive problems it presented recently. The ‘charrúa’ club trusts Gonzalo Bergessio, who has not scored for five games, and in last week’s match, ‘Bolsa’ only hit a shot on the rival goal.
Coach Jorge Giordano considered that “you have to be very balanced, try to make a game like we want, and score a goal as soon as possible, but you have to maintain a balance and not get carried away because if you don't have it, it may be something that we pay for very expensive. We have to have more depth ”.
