The season is still fairly new and the Superliga table has to be read with caution. So far Boca Juniors find themselves in 4th position and River Plate are placed 6th.
- Boca Juniors have the most scored goals (11) in Superliga
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
Boca Juniors form and stats
Boca Juniors have less points than they have played home games in the Superliga so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 2 points. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Juniors are returning here after visiting Velez Sarsfield in a Superliga game and winning with a 7-1 scoreline. Sebastián Villa (2), Gonzalo Maroni (2), Edwin Cardona, Carlos Tévez and Jorman Campuzano scored the goal(s). Before that, Juniors had a Copa Argentina home game versus Claypole which ended with a victory 2-1.
As mentioned above, Juniors "killed" Velez Sarsfield in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Boca Juniors has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
River Plate form and stats
Things could have gone better for River Plate in their Superliga away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
River failed to get anything from their last game, a Superliga home match vs Argentinos Juniors that ended with defeat 0-1.
Late heartbreak for River in the Argentinos Juniors match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime.
It's early days yet, but River Plate has scored 2 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Juniors won two games, three matches ended with a draw and River Plate has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / sixTop Goalscorers
