Club Atlético River Plate host Racing Club this Saturday at the Estadio Monumental in matchday 14 of the 2026 Torneo Clausura. The match is scheduled for 21:30 local time and will be broadcast live on TNT Sports.
The Millionaires come into the classic in solid form. They sit sixth in the standings with 20 points from six wins, two draws, and five losses. Their last outing was a convincing 3-0 win over Belgrano de Córdoba last week, with goals from Tomás Galván, Ángel Correa, and Thiago Almada. That result is part of a five-match unbeaten run, consisting of three wins and two draws. This strong recent form, with three wins and two draws from their last five matches, has them on a two-game winning streak. In attack, the team has scored 18 goals while conceding only 13, giving them a positive goal difference of five.
The opponent and context
Recent history favors River, who are looking for three points to keep pressure on the leaders. The Núñez-based side currently trails league leaders Rosario Central by eight points. Their next fixture, this Saturday 25 October, is against Racing Club, an opponent currently sitting 13th in the table.
River's squad has no suspension issues and is in high spirits after the rout in Córdoba. Manager Martín Demichelis will have key figures like the season's top scorer, Tomás Galván, who has seven goals already. The midfield, with Almada in fine form, will be key to breaking down a Racing defense that has shown some vulnerability.
The match promises to be intense, with a packed Monumental expected. For fans unable to attend, the live streaming option is available via the Flow platform, which also holds broadcast rights. A victory would allow River to climb the table and stay in the Clausura title race. The team's next activity will be specific preparation for this clash during the week.
