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

River Plate looked quite in a comfortable position in Group A until two unexpected blows suddenly put their quarterfinal spot in jeopardy. Gallardo's side couldn't bounce back after being defeated by San Lorenzo at home and lost 1-0 with Banfield in Round 12. They did have a bit of luck as other results kept them in the top four, but El Millonario still need to get back to winning ways before it's too late. 

The upcoming clash seems like a very good chance for them to claim the three points, as Aldosivi have had a weak campaign so far. In Fernando Gago's first season as a coach, the team from Mar del Plata was unable to string good results together and showed that it still has a lot of work to do. Last weekend, Argentinos Juniors put three past them.

These two sides had a very short history of facing each other, as Aldosivi was promoted to the top flight a few years ago. River Plate remain unbeaten against this opponent, as they won three games and tied in the other one.
