River Plate is set to face Gimnasia in the Torneo Apertura 2026 quarterfinals on May 13, 2026. Coach Eduardo Coudet is currently assessing potential changes to the team's lineup, with Juan Fernando Quintero being considered for a starting role. This comes after River Plate's victory over San Lorenzo via a penalty shootout in the previous round.
During recent training sessions, Coudet also tested Germán Pezzella in the defense. If Pezzella starts, Lucas Martínez Quarta may shift to a defensive midfield position, altering the team's build-up play. Upfront, Facundo Colidio and Sebastián Driussi are expected to remain the primary attacking duo.
The match will be held at the Monumental stadium. River Plate's objective is to leverage this home advantage in the quarterfinal to progress towards the semifinals, solidifying the team's most trusted formation under Coudet's guidance.
