River Plate will host Belgrano de Córdoba on April 5 as part of the thirteenth round of the Torneo Apertura, with kickoff scheduled for 18:00. The match will be played at Estadio Mâs Monumental and broadcast exclusively by TNT Sports.
This fixture is seen as crucial for River Plate’s standing in the league table. Under coach Eduardo “Chacho” Coudet, River has achieved a string of victories that have kept them near the top of their group. The team’s recent performance has generated significant enthusiasm among fans, and a full stadium is expected.
Coudet’s management has brought an offensive style to River Plate, resulting in a winning streak. However, he faces the challenge of managing player fitness levels since River will begin its campaign in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana shortly after this match. There is speculation that Coudet may make minor changes to his lineup against Belgrano to preserve key players but remains focused on securing advancement in the local tournament before turning attention to international competition.
The Professional League has confirmed Yael Falcón Pérez as referee for this encounter, with Pablo Acevedo and Maximiliano Castelli serving as assistants. Gastón Iglesias will act as fourth official, while José Carreras oversees video review technology from Ezeiza.
Belgrano arrives needing points to move away from the bottom of the standings. Historically, River Plate has dominated recent home meetings between these teams through high-pressure play—a hallmark under Coudet—while Belgrano often adopts defensive tactics that could test River’s midfield creativity.
