River Plate form and stats
As the visiting team in Primera Division matches, River Plate have produced an overall stat of 4-1-2 so far.
River's last game was the home draw against Torque (3-3). It looked so good for River vs Torque, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 3-0 lead was turned into a 3-3 draw.
