More action from the best league in the world as River Plate look to go joint top tonight (at least for a few hours) against Altetico Rafaela. River are three points behind leaders Newell's and they know is a must win game tonight.
And coach Ramon Diaz is going for broke with an ultra attacking line up. He is going with three forwards. Iturbe, Mori, and Luna as a front three with playmaker Lanzini in the hole as per usual. Ledesma returns to the midfield alongside Rojas so essentially River are playing with no holding/defensive midfielder. And when u think defenders Vangioni and Mercado are better going forward than they are defending just shows you how offensive River's line up is.
River drew 2-2 away to Union last week. On paper it's a poor result against the, almost certain to be, relegated Union. But considering River were 2-0 down early it might be seen as a point gained in the end.
River are undefeated at home in their last 12 matches.
Rafaela's good run of form came to an abrupt end last week with an awful performance in losing 2-0 at home to Estudiantes. That has put them out of the running for a Copa Sudamericana place. The only thing they have to play for is to improve their average for next season. They have been quite solid at the back this season and have only conceded 13 goals in the league.
This is sh!t or bust for River. Too often in Argentina coaches and players are too conservative in their approach. That can't be labelled at Ramon Diaz. He has always been a brave coach and tonight he will throw everything at this stuffy Rafaela side. I hope his bravery is rewarded. I'm certain his bravery will be rewarded. This is a must win game for River and they have the tools on the pitch to deliver it for them. I have gone in big time on River winning, and I have also backed them -1 on the Asians.
Good luck all
