Both teams are delivering a good season so far and fixtures like this one could be deciding. Here's the preview for River Plate - Argentinos Juniors!
- River Plate have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (1) in Superliga
- Argentinos Juniors have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
This is a match between two teams close to each other, usually meaning added nervousness and importance.
There have been limited time to rest for the hosts, as they had a Copa Libertadores fixture only four days back. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Alianza Lima.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Defensa y Justicia and winning 2-1.The match schedule is unforgiving for River as they have a new game in only three days, a Copa Libertadores match thankfully also at home. Fortaleza are visiting.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (10 in 4 games), River Plate's attacking play is working.
