River Plate form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Superliga, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 9 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats from 12 matches.

It's the second away game in a row for River, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Godoy Cruz (placed 4th) in the Superliga last time out. Before that, River Plate secured a home win against Rosario Central with the score 2-1.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager M. Gallardo when Federico Girotti scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 75th minute.

The schedule is very tough for River now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa Libertadores game at Athletico PR is waiting in only four days.

River Plate have the goal stats of 1-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: River Plate - Banfield 1-3. Banfield-River Plate H2H statistics last six meetings regardless of arena: Banfield one win, River Plate four wins, one draw. four of these six matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
