River Plate form and stats

Last season, River Plate's Copa Sudamericana journey ended in the 1st round.

River Plate's struggle is real here at Estadio Defensores del Chaco with only 5 points collected from 8 Division 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-5. This match is a Copa Sudamericana match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in this competition. All in all it has been a very rough period for River Plate who hasn’t won a league-game in their last twelve attempts. Their previous win was against Sportivo Luqueno, 87 days ago.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Cerro Porteno in the Division 1 last time out and are looking for a win here. D. Pérez felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Cerro Porteno as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 30th minute.

Before that, River Plate had a Copa Sudamericana home game versus Sport Huancayo which ended with a victory 2-1.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for River Plate, as the Division 1 home game vs Olimpia is only four days away.

The lack of attacking qualities in River Plate means that they have only scored 4 goals in 8 league home games, less than half a goal per match. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. River have conceded 13 from these games.

Total Copa Sudamericana statistics for Peñarol: 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Fenix game have they lost an away game, meaning Peñarol has taken points from ten away matches in a row.

Peñarol had fun at their own home (Estadio Defensores del Chaco) last time out, beating Corinthians 4-0. Agustín Álvarez Martínez (3) and A. Canobbio scored. As mentioned above, Peñarol was the only team on the pitch versus Corinthians in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task. It's hard not to mention Agustín Álvarez Martínez's lethal finishing against Corinthians. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs River Plate.

The schedule is very tough for Peñarol now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Primera Division game at Fenix is waiting in only four days.
