River Plate and Santa Fe get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Copa Libertadores Group Stage fixture.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Superliga match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Boca Juniors, so at least River Plate are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
