  • River Plate have the the best goal difference (+6) in Superliga

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa Argentina game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Boca Juniors. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

It's quite the trip for River Plate when visiting Godoy as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.
