Rentistas form and stats

2-2-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera Division numbers at home for Rentistas, who have the the best goal difference (+6) in Primera Division, so far this season. Rentistas has a nice streak going on as they have played 14 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Albion defeat 326 days ago. Two draws in a row at home now for Rentistas.

Rentistas manager A. Capuccio Díaz and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Penarol (placed 9th) in the Primera Division. Before that, Rentistas drew at home versus Wanderers.

Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Penarol last time out, but a goal from M. Lemos completed a comeback to a draw result for Rentistas. M. Lemos was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Penarol after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Rentistas have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won six times, drawn one and lost one.

Rentistas are traveling soon after this match as the Primera Division match at Torque awaits in three days.

A decent goal production from Rentistas in their home games so far, with 7 goals from 4 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Rentistas have only let in 2 goals at home.

River Plate form and stats

River Plate are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Primera Division, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses).

The manager J. Fossati Lurachi was unhappy after their last game, a Primera Division match played at their home ground Parque Federico Omar Saroldi. River suffered a 0-1 loss to Deportivo Maldonado (placed 10th). Before that, River Plate travelled to Boston River and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

We have checked recent matches where River Plate have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were zero victories, two draws and two defeats.

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

River are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 4 away goals from 3 games (in the league). They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Rentistas victories, two draws and three River Plate wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, eight matches with two goals or less.
