There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Wanderers leading River Plate by 12 points.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Wanderers form and stats
Overall Primera Division stats at home this season for Wanderers, who have the most clean sheets (7) in Primera Division, are 2-3-0 (wins-draw-losses). Two home wins in a row for Wanderers bring valid hopes of a third.
Wanderers are confident in defense, having played 361 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Wanderers enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Penarol's place. The match ended 2-0 with J. Barboza and R. Pastorini scoring. Ahead of that match, Wanderers won a home game hosting Liverpool (2-0).
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 Wanderers have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost two.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Danubio are coming to town in one day.
The Wanderers fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. Wanderers are not conceding a lot of goals here at Parque Alfredo Víctor Viera in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.
River Plate form and stats
As the visiting team in Primera Division matches, River Plate have produced an overall stat of 1-2-1 so far.
Two away games in a row for River, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Cerro Largo in the Primera Division. A 0-1 loss hosting Deportivo Maldonado before that.
River are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, two draws and three defeats. From a total of five matches.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Cerro in just one day.
The visiting River have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 5 goals from 4 games. River have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
