WDDWDD 📈

River Plate enter this fixture following on from a 0-0 Copa Libertadores draw against Barcelona SC.

In that game, River Plate managed 71% possession and 17 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. On the other side, Barcelona SC had 2 shots at goal with 0 of them on target.

Their more recent scorelines reveal that not much more can be done by the River Plate rearguard. River Plate have been mean at the back, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their past six outings standing at 3.

Talleres

DDDLWL

Since being beaten in their last game against Club Libertad in Copa Libertadores action, Talleres will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that game, Talleres managed 65% possession and 24 attempts at goal with 5 on target. At the other end, Club Libertad had 5 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Iván Franco (9') was the scorer for Club Libertad.

Over the course of 6 of the previous six games involving Talleres, a comparatively low number of goals have been hit between them and opposing sides. The overall average number of goals per game within that spell comes to a mere 1.17, with the number of goals averaged by La T being 0.5. That sort of trend might not be carried forward here, however.

💡 Prediction

We believe that River Plate will most probably get the goals that they need when they meet Talleres, who might well find it a difficult task finding the net themselves.

We’re therefore expecting to see a pretty comfortable 2-0 winning margin for River Plate come full-time.
