What time do Alianza Lima vs River Plate play LIVE TODAY: duel at the Nacional for Copa Libertadores 2022

Alianza Lima vs River Plate LIVE. 'Blanquiazules' are measured today Wednesday than April 6 against the 'millionaires' at the Estadio Nacional de Lima for the first date of Group F of the Copa Libertadores 2022. The match will be attended by the public. In this note you will be able to follow the minute by minute of the international meeting.

The 'blaquiazul' team does not play well in Liga 1, because in the first 6 dates it has scored only 5 points. The balance is that he has won 1 match, tied twice and with 3 defeats to his credit. However, the last match against Sport Huancayo on a visit could not be disputed due to the strike of carriers who blocked the roads in Junín, thus preventing the buses from traveling for the match. This will allow the 'Victorians' to come more rested before the Argentines.

In addition, on the occasion of the stoppage of the national championship for the qualifying matches, they took advantage of playing friendlies with some teams in Liga 2 against Alfonso Ugarte, Alianza Universidad and Deportivo Coopsol. In that sense, coach Carlos Bustos spent this time correcting the mistakes, both in defense and in attack, that his team has suffered at the start of the local tournament.

Players such as Christian Ramos, Pablo Lavandeira, Cristian Benavente, Hernán Barcos, among others, will have to step up and improve their performance so that Alianza Lima changes their face and can prove it to River Plate.

For its part, the Argentine squad comes from winning Defense and Justice as a visitor and has a very different present compared to its Peruvian peer. After the eighth round of the Argentine Professional League they are in second place with 16 points, 2 less than the leader Racing de Avellaneda.

With this great moment in the domestic competition, DT Marcelo Gallardo could put an alternate eleven and shoot other players who haven't had many minutes like Agustín Palavecino, Tomás Pochettino, Matías Suárez or Bruno Zuculini, among others. However, there is a chance that he can line up his best players to start off on the right foot in the continental tournament. In this case, striker Julián Álvarez comes in a great moment with his 4 goals and 1 assist in 7 games, so it would be a danger for the Matute cast.

LOW

Alianza Lima has the only casualty of Jefferson Farfan, who recently underwent surgery on his left knee and will miss the entire group stage of the Copa Libertadores. Meanwhile, River Plate traveled to Lima without two of its players: Paulo Díaz and José Paradela, both for catching COVID-19. Afterwards, they will go with the best they have.

LIMA ALLIANCE AND ITS NEGATIVE STREAK

The 'alliancista' team will seek to break against the 'Millionario' an important negative streak. And he has been in 23 matches in the Copa Libertadores without knowing the victory. Precisely, the last time they did it was in 2012, when they defeated Nacional de Uruguay (curiously led by 'Muñeco' Gallardo) 1-0 with a goal by José Carlos Fernández. Therefore, they will try to break this mark against the 'gauchos'.

STATEMENT

Carlos Bustos, coach of Alianza Lima, had words about this duel between 'blue whites' and 'millionarios'. “Being able to play in this group is a way of measuring ourselves, of being in competition, also of enjoying this situation in the Cup. It is the fourth time in history that Alianza and River will face each other for the international cup. To have the chance to play against this rival, for the tournament, and because it is the start, at home, we hope to play a very good game, to live up to it,” he said at a press conference last Monday 04.

For his part, the 'intimate' striker, Hernán Barcos, went further and went to the positive mentality to try to move forward this match, including winning the cup. “We must have the mentality that we can win the cup and with the passing of the matches one sees reality. If we go in thinking about the second round, it probably won't reach us. If we are going to enter a cup to suffer it, we better have to give the place to another one”, he said.
