River Plate, Recent FormIn their last match River Plate enforced their superiority over Huracán with a 3-0 away win. They came away from that fixture with 62% of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Huracán managed 7 attempts on goal, with 1 on target.
Their boss Martín Demichelis will be rightly happy with his team of late, having seen them score 12 goals in their last 6 matches while only letting 2 over their own goal line. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 16 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've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are unbeaten home or away in their last 5 league games.
Goalscorer Lucas Beltrán will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for River Plate.
Gimnasia y Esgrima, Recent FormWith a 3-1 home win last time out against Racing Club, Gimnasia y Esgrima will be looking forward to this one, and there will undoubtedly be a mood of confidence among their squad. They achieved 41% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Racing Club's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process. 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. They have proved to be unconvincing up front so far this season, having been unable to hit the back of the net in 5 of their 10 league games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was River Plate that came out on top with a 1-0 win.
River will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against El Lobo having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 9 meetings.
Playing at home, River have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 8 times they have faced Gimnasia in the league.
River manager Martín Demichelis has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Nicolás de la Cruz (Knee), Matías Kranevitter (Broken ankle), Elías López (Cruciate ligament), David Martínez (Tendon) and Bruno Zuculini (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Sebastián Romero has a number of injury concerns in his Gimnasia squad to contend with: Lautaro Chávez (Cruciate ligament), Germán Guiffrey (Shoulder), Matías Miranda (Cruciate ligament) and Eric Ramírez (Muscle)
