River Plate, Recent FormRiver Plate manager Martín Demichelis will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Vélez Sarsfield. They came away from that fixture with 61% of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 11 on target. By comparison, Vélez Sarsfield managed 13 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 24 games in a row, and they've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 home games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 6 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 6 games.
Goalscorer Miguel Borja will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for River Plate.
Defensa y Justicia, Recent FormDefensa y Justicia manager Julio Vaccari will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Racing Club. In that game they had 38% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Racing Club who had 10 attempts and 3 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 4 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games on the road.
Defensa will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Tomás Cardona has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against River Plate.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
El Halcón de Varela have found the back of the net in each of their previous 3 league matches away from home to River.
In the league, Defensa have been unbeaten in the last 3 times they have visited River at The Estadio Mâs Monumental.
River manager Martín Demichelis has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Paulo Díaz (Ankle), Enzo Díaz (Sprained knee), Elías López (Cruciate ligament), Emanuel Mammana (Knee), David Martínez (Tendon) and Bruno Zuculini (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Defensa manager Julio Vaccari has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
