River Plate form and stats
River Plate have collected 13 points from their Primera Division home games so far after 4-1-2.

River Plate have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio Parque Federico Saroldi with 12 goals in 7 league matches. On the other hand, River Plate have conceded 10 goals.
Juventud form and stats
There's been little loot from Juventud's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Primera Division. Juventud only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. Bitter travels for Juventud as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Rampla Juniors match.
The supporters enjoyed Juventud's previous game versus Cerro (placed 12th), a Primera Division 4-2 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Plaza Colonia wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Juventud, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
Juventud find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 6 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. In the opposite end, Juventud have conceded 11 goals in their away games.
