A key match in Superliga as both teams are battling for the top positions. With River Plate in 2nd position and San Lorenzo placed 4th, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
- River Plate have the most scored goals (20) in Superliga
It's no vacation for neither River Plate nor San Lorenzo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
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.
River Plate form and stats
River Plate, who have the most scored goals (20) in Superliga, have played 4 Superliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Copa Sudamericana trip to Rosario Central.
