Sud América welcome River Plate for another interesting Primera Division fixture here at Estadio Municipal Casto Martínez Laguarda.

Insights:
  • Sud América have not yet lost a game at home.
  • River Plate have the most scored goals in the second half (7) in Primera Division

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

Sud América form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Sud América's two home games in the Primera Division so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Municipal Casto Martínez Laguarda.

América haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 301 minutes ago. T. Andrade scored that one.

Sud América lost their last game at Liverpool (placed 1st) after a 0-5 scoreline. As you see from the result above, Sud América suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Before that, América drew at home versus Cerrito.

América are traveling soon after this match as the Primera Division match at Cerro Largo awaits in three days.

Early season league goal statistics from Sud América's 2 home games: 2 goals, 1 conceded.

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 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).

The supporters enjoyed River's previous game versus Progreso (placed 14th), a Primera Division 4-0 win played at home. As you can tell from the results above, River was very dominant against Progreso, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with F. Bonifazi, T. Borbas, G. Castro and H. Salaberry providing the goals.

Before that one, a nice away victory 4-2 at Cerro Largo.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Plaza Colonia in just three days.

The travelling fans enjoy River Plate's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. In the opposite end, River have conceded 5 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for América, zero draws and five wins for River Plate. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
