River Plate and Millonarios go head-to-head in a friendly at the Estadio Mâs Monumental on Tuesday. Martín Demichelis’ men head into the game on a run of five home wins on the trot and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
River Plate were denied a third consecutive victory last time out as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Deportivo Riestra at the Estadio Guillermo Laza on June 16.
Before that, Demichelis’ men secured a 2-0 win over Venezuelan outfit Deportivo Táchira in the Copa Libertadores on May 31, three days before seeing off Tigre 3-1 in the league.
River Plate have picked up nine points from five matches to sit seventh in the Primera Division table, four points adrift of first-placed Talleres.
Millonarios, on the other hand, returned to winning ways last time out when they edged out Junior Barranquilla 2-0 in the Colombian Categoría Primera A.
This was a much-needed relief for Alberto Gamero’s men, who had failed to win their previous five matches, claiming three draws and losing twice, including a 3-0 loss against Flamengo in the Copa Libertadores on May 29.
Millonarios are currently second in the Primera A standings, having picked up eight points from their opening six matches.
