River Plate, Recent FormRiver Plate had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 3-3 draw against Rosario Central. Their share of possession in that meeting was 65%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target, in contrast to Rosario Central, who had 15 shots on goal with 5 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 25 of their 26 games this season, and of the 12 games they have played at home, they've notched up 7 clean sheets.
They are showing impressive form at home with a run of 10 straight wins in a row.
On an individual basis, Nicolás de la Cruz has scored in each of River Plate's last 4 league games at The Estadio Mâs Monumental.
Racing Club, Recent FormRacing Club will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-1 winners in their home fixture against Central Córdoba. In that game they recorded 63 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 14 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 10 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 playing away from home, they're currenlty on a run of 2 clean sheets in a row.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 10 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Matías Rojas will be looking to cause River Plate some problems having scored 3 goals in Racing Club's last 6 away games in the league.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was River Plate that came out on top with a 1-2 win.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at The Estadio Mâs Monumental, La Academia have been unable to break through the River defence and find the back of the net. River will be confident of finding the net in this one against La Academia, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 6 encounters between the two sides. In their recent meetings Racing have struggled to keep El Millonario at bay, having conceded 16 goals in their last 5 games. In their past 5 meetings, El Millonario's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Racing will have to take their chances when they come.
Racing will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 5 times they've met River in the league and not won this fixture for 5 games in a row.
With only Elías López (Cruciate ligament) and Bruno Zuculini (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Martín Demichelis will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Fernando Gago has a number of injury concerns in his Racing squad to contend with: Johan Carbonero (Cruciate ligament), Paolo Guerrero (Knee), Leonel Miranda (Cruciate ligament), Anibal Moreno (Overload), Nicolás Reniero (Foot), Maximiliano Romero (Muscle) and Emiliano Vecchio (Cruciate ligament)
