Playing at their own ground is safe and nice for River Plate, but Nacional Asunción are fully intent and able to win. How will it end?
- River Plate have the fewest scored goals (13) in Division 1
- Nacional Asunción have scored at least twice as many goals away as River Plate have scored home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
