River Plate
LLLDWL
River Plate will be hoping for a better result after a 1-0 Primera Division (Apertura) defeat in their last game at the hands of Cerro Largo.
River Plate have been quite ineffective in attack in more recent games. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 3 against opposition teams during their last six matches. In those games, River Plate have also seen the tally of goals against them come to 6. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, however.
Heading into this contest, River Plate have not lost to Danubio when playing them at home in the previous 3 league games.
Danubio
DDDLLL 📉
Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Boston River in Primera Division (Apertura) competition, Danubio will be aiming to make amends here.
Freddy Noguera (90') scored for Boston River.
For 5 of the past six clashes featuring Danubio, a notably low volume of goals have gone in between them and opposing teams. The overall average goals scored per game in that spell is a paltry 2, with the number of goals averaged by La Franja equalling 0.67.

ℹ️
Team News: River Plate
There’s just the sole fitness concern for the River Plate manager Gustavo Díaz to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Mauro Estol (Cruciate ligament tear) is sidelined.
🗞️
Team News: Danubio
Due to a mostly healthy group of players, there’s only a single fitness problem for the Danubio gaffer Mario Saralegui to contend with. Facundo Saravia (unknown injury) won’t be in action.
💭
Prediction
Our feeling is that River Plate could find themselves struggling to register a score against this Danubio team who we think will likely manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.
With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a narrow 0-1 winning margin for Danubio at full-time.
Should be a close one.
