El Millonario has its sights set on turning the momentum after a turbulent week for the Viaducto group, using a home clash as the spark that could recalibrate a difficult phase on familiar ground.
River Plate hosts Arsenal in the final match of the fourth round of the 2023 Professional League Cup. After a rough spell marked by two losses in three outings and a locker room shakeup that hadn’t shaken the club in years, the Núñez outfit is chasing a positive result against an Arsenal side already battered and fighting to stay clear of relegation, hoping for a miracle to avoid the drop.
The team, led by the compass of Núñez, followed a 2-0 defeat to Vélez. The pause before the FIFA timeframe was used to restore calm and defuse the public dispute that had emerged. Meanwhile, Ass confronts a heavy 20-point deduction in the averages table to remain in the top division, a scenario that looks unlikely to shift soon.
