This is going to be the third head to head match between River Plate and Monterrey.

River Plate Form

River Plate had a strong start to the Club World Cup, beating Urawa Red Diamonds 3-1 in the opening round with Facundo Colidio, Sebastian Driussi and Max Meza appearing on the scoresheet.

Marcelo Gallardo’s side started the Argentine Liga Professional playoffs with a commanding 3-0 victory against Baracas Central in the Round of 16, Paulo Diaz, Ignacio Fernandez and Marcos Acuna finding the net.

Like their upcoming opponents, Monterrey also failed to progress far in the Liga MX playoffs.

After eliminating UNAM Pumas 2-0 in the Play-In tournament (with German Berterame and Nelson Deossa on target), they were knocked out in the quarterfinals by Toluca after a 4-4 aggregate draw.

Monterrey began their 2025 Club World Cup campaign with a solid 1-1 draw against Inter Milan. Sergio Ramos opened the scoring with a header in the 25th minute, after which Monterrey focused primarily on defending.
