International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Sport Huancayo and River Plate are looking forward to this Copa Sudamericana fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Sport Huancayo form and stats
Last season, Huancayo's Copa Sudamericana journey ended in the 8th finals.OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Sport Huancayo's two home games in the Primera Division so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Nacional de Lima. This match is a Copa Sudamericana match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss in this competition.
Huancayo are confident in defense, having played 372 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Before that, Sport Huancayo drew at home versus Alianza Lima.
As you see from the result above, Huancayo suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Huancayo have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won three, drawn five and lost one.
Sport Huancayo has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
River Plate form and stats
River Plate was sent out of Copa Sudamericana in the 1st round last season.River Plate have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Division 1, after 0-2-4 (6 played). The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Copa Sudamericana stats, they have 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses both home and away. A depressing four defeats in a row for River Plate in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Sol de América. It's looking increasingly bleak for River who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Nacional Asunción was the last time a defeat was avoided.
River have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 316 minutes ago. P. Zeballos was the goal scorer.
River delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Corinthians in their previous match; a Copa Sudamericana game. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Sol de América.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by River Plate in our archives, and the results are: five wins for River Plate, four draws and zero defeats.
The attacking power of River when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that River concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
