Overview

• Kickoff is 19:15 at the Estadio Más Monumental on TNT Sports, with streaming also promoted via HBO Max.
• Vélez leads Zone B on 14 points and River sits on 12 with a game in hand, so a home win would move River back into first place.
• Darío Herrera will referee the match, with Germán Delfino overseeing VAR.
• San Martín comes in after a 1-0 victory over Gimnasia through a Marco Iacobellis penalty but remains under relegation pressure in the annual and promedios tables.
• Marcelo Gallardo and Leandro Romagnoli have named probable lineups that feature Franco Armani for River and Ignacio Maestro Puch for San Martín, with options noted in defense and midfield for the hosts.
