River Plate, Recent FormRiver Plate head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-0 away win against Sarmiento in their last league encounter. Their share of possession in that meeting was 70%, while racking up 25 shots along the way, 9 of which were on target, in contrast to Sarmiento, who had 14 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Manager Martín Demichelis will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 11 goals. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 14 games. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Demichelis will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They have had an excellent run of form recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games. They will be very happy with their very strong start to the season, winning 6 of their 8 league games.
On an individual basis, Lucas Beltrán will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in River Plate's last 6 league games.
Unión de Santa Fe, Recent FormWith Racing Club sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Unión de Santa Fe won't feel totally dejected with their 3-1 home defeat by them last time out.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
An away win for Unión de Santa Fe is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 14 games.
Mauro Luna Diale will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against River Plate in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Unión de Santa Fe.
A defeat for Unión de Santa Fe in their last match against River Plate was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 4 goals.
The Tatengue defence has struggled against River in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 games. In their recent meetings Unión have struggled to keep El Millonario at bay, having conceded 14 goals in their last 5 games.
Unión have lost the last 3 times they've faced River in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
River manager Martín Demichelis has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Nicolás de la Cruz (Knee), Elías López (Cruciate ligament), David Martínez (Tendon), Santiago Simón (Tendon) and Bruno Zuculini (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Unión manager Gustavo Munúa has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
