Marcelo Gallardo's boys have been in a rough patch lately, winning only one of their last seven games across all competitions. In that span, they suffered a Copa Libertadores exit and another elimination in the domestic cup at the hands of lifelong rivals Boca Juniors.

On the other hand, the team coached by former Real Madrid and Roma star Fernando Gago will make the trip to Buenos Aires in high spirits. It won't be an easy challenge for the Shark, but they arrive at this clash with plenty of optimism.

River Plate vs Aldosivi: Storylines and Head-to-Head

It's been a tough couple of weeks for River Plate. They've only picked up one victory in August at home against Velez and need to bounce back immediately. Last Sunday, they were held by Gimnasia on the road.

Aldosivi, meanwhile, overcame a bad start to the tournament and are riding a four-game unbeaten run, which includes three wins. Gago's boys will set foot at the Monumental hoping to seize on their opponents' bad form and build from their 3-0 win over Copa de la Liga Profesional winners Colon on Matchday 7.

There's not a long history of games between these two sides. In fact, Aldosivi have never beaten River so far. They met four times, three of them seeing the Millonario as victorious, while they shared the points once.
