The team is in sixth place in the final table from last year, with 22 points in 16 games, and a DLLWL streak in the last games. Former coach Leonardo Astrada defended Eduardo Coudet, who has been criticized for the team's negative streak. Astrada pointed out that Coudet has been in charge for three months and has managed to reach a final, despite not playing well. However, the host of the ESPN cycle, Sebastián Vignolo, questioned Astrada's defense, pointing out that River lost three of three games at the start of the season.
