Albion form and stats

Seven points from three Primera Division home games is a great start for Albion, who are hoping to build on that form here at Estadio Jardines del Hipódromo.

Albion lost their last game at Boston River (placed 6th) after a 0-1 scoreline. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going undefeated through three league rounds.

Ahead of that match, Albion won a home game hosting Torque (1-0).

Trouble hitting the net? Looking at this team's last 15 league games, 12 have seen less than three goals (under 2.5).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Albion as they are travelling to their away game against Cerro Largo in the Primera Division. That match is four days after this one.

Defensively Albion have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

River Plate form and stats

5 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. That’s the product of River Plate playing as the away team in the Primera Division this season. River love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

River Plate might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Defensor Sporting proved too strong as River Plate slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Parque Federico Omar Saroldi. That defeat ended this club's string of league fixtures in a row without losing; ten games in all!

Preceding that game was the away victory against Cerrito with the score of 5-1.

After this away game River Plate return home for a Primera Division game against Nacional. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The River manager Domínguez has seen his team go crazy on the road this season, having scored 16 goals in 5 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).

Head 2 Head

This happened when the contenders faced each other previously this campaign; River Plate - Albion 4-1. Sosa loves to face Albion and have scored 2 goals in these encounters.
