Kick-off: 2026-09-12

River Plate enter as heavy favourites with a €115.8m squad value against Atletico Tucuman's €11.35m, and the gap is evident in league standing and recent form. River sit 2nd in Group B with 29 pts (15W–3D–10L) while Tucuman languish 13th in the same group with just 14 pts (5W–9D–9L). In the last 5, River won 2 of 5 (9 goals for, 6 against; 60.4% possession, 6.8 shots on target per game) while Tucuman drew 2 of last 5 and leaked 2 goals in one loss (6 for, 2 against over recent matches, but weak 47% possession).
