The 2022 League begins for the locals, Defensa y Justicia, and River Plate who will face each other today, June 5 for Matchday 1. Here you will find all the information about this game, such as the preview, storylines, predictions and odds. If you want to watch it live, you can do it in the United States on Paramount + (free trial).

The team led by Marcelo Gallardo has just been one of the great disappointments of the past 2022 Copa de la Liga . Although they made it through the first phase, they were expected to make it to at least the semi-finals. However, they lost at home against Tigre who was ultimately a finalist and lost that final against Boca Juniors .

They want to do a better job in this 2022 League (just as they are doing in the Copa Libertadores) and for that, there is nothing better than starting with a victory, although of course it will not be easy against a tough rival like Defensa y Justicia, a team that advanced to the round in the Copa de la Liga, although not in the Sudamericana.
