There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa Sudamericana game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at River Plate. 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.
Platense form and stats
The story so far in the Superliga for Platense at their home stadium (Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López) is 2 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

Morgantini was "man of the match" with a rating of 6.81 out of 10. The defender Morgantini won 5 of 6 duels.
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Tigre.From these home matches, Platense have conceded only 3 goals.
