With the edgy opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Superliga duel of the season. River Plate look forward to welcoming Atlético Tucumán in front of their home following.

Insights:
  • River Plate have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
  • Atlético Tucumán have yet to win a game away.

Atlético Tucumán have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
