River Plate form and stats
River Plate's struggle is real here at Estadio River Plate with only 4 points collected from 6 Division 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-4. River Plate are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Estadio River, having lost their two previous games here.
River manager E. Landaida and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Sportivo Luqueno (placed 7th) in the Division 1. Before that, River drew at home versus Corinthians.
Late drama in the game against Sportivo Luqueno as River Plate were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until P. Zeballos popped out and made it level in the 90th minute. The hometeam coach E. Landaida made a successful contribution in the game against Sportivo Luqueno, bringing on P. Zeballos who scored the equalizer in the 2-2 draw.
River has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 6 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.

Libertad are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 10 times in 6 away games so far. Libertad's manager D. Garnero has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 3 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
