River Plate

WWDDLW

River Plate fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being the 1-5 Superliga triumph over Unión de Santa Fe.

In that match, River Plate managed 47% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. For River Plate, goals were scored by Braian Romero (16'), Enzo Fernández (59'), Julián Álvarez (73', 94') and Agustín Palavecino (87'). Unión de Santa Fe had 12 shots at goal with 3 on target. Mariano Peralta (79') was the scorer for Unión de Santa Fe.

Their latest results really do illustrate the point that much solidity has been shown by the River Plate backline. River Plate have been stingy, with the tally of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their past six outings standing at 3. That pattern might not be continued into this next game, however.

Their past results show that River Plate:

• have not been beaten in the league by Lanús in their previous 3 matches.
• have not won at home in their last 2 league matches.

Lanús

LWDDLW ⚖

Lanús will go into this game after a 1-0 Superliga win with the eclipse of Colón in their previous outing.

In that game, Lanús managed 58% possession and 16 shots on goal with 9 of them on target. The only player to score for Lanús was Lautaro Acosta (85'). At the other end, Colón had 12 shots on goal with 0 of them on target.

Jorge Almirón's Lanús have converted a total of 5 times in the course of their most recent 6 matches. The total of goals that have been scored against them during those same clashes adds up to 5.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Lanús:

• have not beaten River Plate when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. Not the best of away records.
• are without an away win for the past 5 matches in the league.

📰 Team News: River Plate

Matías Suárez (Thigh Muscle Strain), Felipe Peña Biafore (Fitness) and Robert Rojas (Tibia and Fibula Fracture) are not available for River Plate gaffer Marcelo Gallardo.

It’s our opinion that Los Millonarios should use a 4-2-3-1 system featuring Franco Armani, Marcelo Herrera, L. Gonzalez Pirez, H. David Martinez, Elias Gomez, Enzo Pérez, J. Antonio Paradela, Nicolás De La Cruz, Enzo Fernández, Braian Romero and Julián Álvarez.

📋 Team News: Lanús

Owing to an otherwise full-strength group, there is just the sole fitness worry for the Lanús manager Jorge Almirón to be concerned with. Pedro de la Vega (Ruptured cruciate ligament) misses out for this game.

We are inclined to think that Granate might begin the game with a 4-4-2 system, choosing Fernando Monetti, Braian Aguirre, Matías Pérez, Diego Braghieri, Nicolas Pasquini, Ángel González, Tomás Belmonte, M. González, Lautaro Acosta, Lucas Varaldo and José Sand.

🔮 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that River Plate can get the win and a possible clean sheet when they play Lanús, who might well find it difficult to break down their defence.

Our selection here is for a controlled 2-0 winning score for River Plate at the end of the match.
