Rampla Juniors hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 6 points and a 16th position in the Primera Division table. Visiting River Plate holds 9th place with 15 pts.
Rampla Juniors and River Plate should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Rampla Juniors form and stats
Overall Primera Division stats at home this season for Rampla Juniors, who have the the worst goal difference (-12) in Primera Division, are 0-1-4 (wins-draw-losses). With nine home games in a row without a win, the Rampla Juniors fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Cerro game long ago, can be stopped today.
Rampla Juniors are returning here after visiting Cerro in a Primera Division game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against Plaza Colonia that was lost 0-1.
Rampla Juniors have scored 3 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 8 goals have been conceded.
River Plate form and stats
The visitors are W0-D2-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Primera Division. Three consecutive losses in away matches means River Plate are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
River Plate are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Primera Division against Defensor Sporting (placed 7th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Penarol wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. River Plate have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
