Independiente Rivadavia vs Aldosivi
Independiente Rivadavia put in a very respectable performance but ultimately came away empty-handed after a 3-1 away defeat to River Plate, who showed their greater quality. They have won only one of their last four matches in the Torneo Clausura and now have 11 points, leaving them occupying the final playoff position in Group B. In the overall standings, La Lepra dropped down to second spot, now trailing Argentinos Juniors by one point. As hosts, they have won six of their last seven league matches, losing only once in that run. Aldosivi finally ended their long wait for a league win in 2026 with a crucial 3-1 home victory over Banfield on the debut of new manager Javier Sanguinetti, keeping their hopes of avoiding relegation alive. After 23 league matches without a win (10 draws and 13 defeats), El Tiburón finally claimed their first league victory of the year and reached five points in the Torneo Clausura. They remain second-bottom in the overall standings and still occupy a relegation place, but have reduced the gap to Deportivo Riestra to seven points. Away, their numbers remain extremely poor, with just two points collected from 36 available this season. Despite getting their first win of the season I still don’t think Aldosivi has any chance of avoiding relegation, and an away game against a solid team like Independiente Rivadavia should be too much for them.
