Ahead of the Superclásico de Primera, River Plate and Boca Juniors square off in a reserve clash at the River Camp, serving as a prelude to the big league showdown.
The two giants meet again, this time in Reserve mode, as part of date 7 of the Projection Cup, a special day set to feature all the classic clashes in the Professional League. Held at the River Camp, this match is staged as the curtain-raiser before the Primera game scheduled for Sunday, October 1.
River Plate has not enjoyed a strong run in this competition, currently sitting twelfth in Zone A with four points from six appearances. In their most recent outing, Marcelo Escudero’s squad dropped a 1-0 decision at home to Banfield. The game carries extra intrigue because Claudio Echeverri, who has moved up from the youth system, will appear in the reserves for the occasion.
