River Plate have traveled here for an interesting fight against the hosts Boca Juniors. Prepare for the match with this Superliga preview!
- Boca Juniors have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- River Plate have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
River Plate could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Copa Libertadores game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Junior, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for River Plate.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
