It's the very first fixture of the new season for Wanderers and River Plate. The leaf is blank, the possibilities infinite.

Insights:
  • Wanderers have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • River Plate have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

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.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
