River Plate will be hoping for a better result following the 2-1 Primera Division (Apertura) defeat last time out to Deportivo Maldonado.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games where River Plate have kept a clean sheet. In fact, River Plate have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 8 goals along the way. Previous results aside, we will just have to wait and see if the trend might be maintained here in this game or not.
