Club Atlético River Plate host Huracán this Saturday at the Monumental stadium in matchday ten of the Torneo Clausura 2026. The fixture, scheduled for 20:30 local time, will be broadcast live on ESPN Premium.
River arrives in strong form, having beaten Atlético Tucumán last week to extend their winning run to three consecutive matches. This positive streak has them sitting seventh in the Liga Profesional table with 13 points from a possible 27, though they remain five points behind leaders Argentinos Juniors. A win against ninth-placed Huracán would help close that gap at the top.
Build-up to the clash
Manager Martín Demichelis has almost a full squad available for the match. The only confirmed absence is a central defender, who is recovering from a muscular issue and was not named in the squad list. The team is coming off a 2-1 away win in Tucumán, with goals from Tobías Andrada and a late Thiago Almada strike in added time.
Forward Sebastián Driussi, the team's top scorer this season with six goals, will be a key figure in attack. His link-up play with Lucas Beltrán, who has provided two assists in recent games, has been key for the offensive flow.
Kick-off and broadcast details
The match official appointed is Fernando Rapallini, who will be assisted by his linesmen. Gates at the Monumental will open for fans from 18:30, two hours before kick-off. For those unable to attend, the streaming option will be available via the Star+ platform.
This match carries extra weight as it is the final home game before a brief pause for the FIFA international dates. The team's complete schedule for the coming weeks is on our fixtures calendar.
Recent history favours River, who won 2-1 in their last trip to the Tomás Adolfo Ducó stadium in March. Demichelis has demanded maximum focus from his players to maintain their winning momentum. The squad trained behind closed doors on Thursday, working on high pressing and quick transitions, areas they aim to exploit against a Huracán side arriving with two draws from their last three outings. The starting lineup will be decided on Saturday morning following the final tactical session.
