Independiente Rivadavia 🇦🇷

The Argentine side lead the group with three points and are trying to make history in their first-ever match in Brazil.

After their historic Copa Argentina title (which secured a Libertadores spot), Alfredo Berti’s team are enjoying the best campaign in the Argentine league.

They lead Group B with 29 points and are the only team already guaranteed a place in the round of 16.

Watch out for the trio of Florentín, Villa and Alex Arce.

Villa, formerly of Boca, has become the team’s main technical reference. Arce returned to the club last year during LDU’s Libertadores campaign.

Florentín, meanwhile, stood out for Central Córdoba, who beat Flamengo right at the Maracanã last year.

The lineup has not yet been announced.
