Argentinos Juniors prepare for this game after a 0-0 Superliga tied result against Independiente.

In that match, Argentinos Juniors had 51% possession and 8 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. Independiente got 12 attempts at goal with 6 on target.

Argentinos Juniors have struggled with their forward play of late. Their goals record stands at just 4 against opposition teams during their last six outings. In those meetings, Bichitos Colorados have also seen the number of goals scored against them come to 4.

River Plate

DDWLDL

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Colón in Superliga action, River Plate and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that match, River Plate managed 74% possession and 21 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. The only player to score for River Plate was Matías Suárez (91'). Colón had 5 shots on goal with 2 on target. Rodrigo Aliendro (3') and Yéiler Góez (34') scored for Colón.

The stats don’t lie, and River Plate have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 9 goals in total. At the back, Los Millonarios have seen their frailties exposed. That pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this next game, however.

Drawn results are a common outcome in games between these two clubs. In their head to head clashes starting from 24/09/2017, the records show 5 of them. That’s a very high 83% of games ending up tied.
