The match between
River Plate-URU and
Juventud de Las Piedras is just around the corner, poised to be a significant encounter in Uruguay’s
Primera league. Both teams have had contrasting fortunes in their recent outings, setting up an intriguing context for this face-off scheduled on 13 April 2025.
Squad Insights
River Plate-URU boasts a robust lineup with key players like Matias Alfonso and Juan Cruz De los Santos, both known for their on-field intelligence and agility. Matias Alfonso often orchestrates the pace with deft touches, while De los Santos’s defensive skills are crucial in holding the backline. Agustin Vera, a young talent, has shown flashes of brilliance in midfield, providing much-needed creativity. Veteran Walter Gargano brings experience to the table; his presence often steadies the team in high-pressure situations. Notably, they’ll miss the services of Ihojan Fabian Prrez Cuadro, sidelined due to a lingering injury, and Christian Almeida, serving a suspension, which could test their squad depth.
Juventud de Las Piedras enters the fray with a formidable squad as well. Matias Damiano is their linchpin in defense, consistently thwarting opposition attacks. Facundo Trinidad, with his relentless energy, often dominates the midfield battles, while Rodrigo Rodriguez’s flair and pace have been instrumental in their attacking plays. Gaston Faber, known for his goal-scoring prowess, adds a sharp edge upfront. Unfortunately, they’ll be without Sebastian Contreras, who’s nursing a knock, and Facundo Vigo, out due to personal reasons, which might slightly alter their dynamics.
