The staff for River Plate vs Boca Juniors
Marcelo Gallardo, coach of River Plate, can not count on his strikers Rafael Borré (suspended) and Nacho Scocco (injured) The former Monaco player had surprised his world in the first place by evolving in a different tactic and refocusing the winger Gonzalo Martinez for this match, he found against Leo Ponzio.
At Boca Junior, coach Schelotto has a big uncertainty about Pavon’s participation, injured in the first leg. His absence could push him to pass in 4-4-2 as he did during his replacement during the match. The experienced Tevez, disappointing since his return to Boca, should start on the bench and bring his grinta during the match. To replace Pavon, Schelotto has several alternatives with Zarate, the Colombian Cardona or Benedetto (currently in form).

River Plate: Armani – Montiel, Maidana, Pinola, Casco – Palacios, Perez, Ponzio-Martinez (or Quintero) – Pratto, Scocco
