Argentinian football comes to a standstill today with a thrilling “Avellaneda classic” between Racing Club and River Plate, for the first match of the quarter-finals of the Clausura Tournament Play-offs of the Professional League. The match will be a single game played at the Presidente Perón Stadium.
Racing, which reached the play-offs as the second in its zone, arrives in great form. Gustavo Costas’ team relies on the support of its fans and the hierarchy of players like Adrián Martínez and Roger Martínez to make a statement in this knockout clash.
River Plate, classified as third, arrives in Avellaneda under the pressure of winning a title that has eluded them. Martín Demichelis’ team will have to overcome their inconsistency as visitors. The key will be in the midfield and La Academia’s ability to disrupt River’s possession. A highly tense match is expected, possibly decided by individual inspiration.
