Player to watch

Franco Mastantuano, River Plate: This might be Mastantuano’s final game in River’s colors as he prepares to join Real Madrid. After acknowledging inconsistent performances in previous matches, this is his opportunity to make an impact.

Storyline to watch

Does Chivu stick to the Inzaghi formula? Chivu has shown signs of tactical adaptation since taking over from Inzaghi, but retains a largely conservative formation. As the high stakes loom, a decisive tactical change may be necessary.

Prediction

Expect a tense match, likely lacking finesse, but ultimately ending in a much-needed result for Inter. PICK: River Plate 1, Inter 2.
