    River Plate Team Overview

    The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the Primera Division tournament (home team - Gimnasia Y Esgrima La Plata, away team - River Plate ). The match concluded with a scoreline of 1:0.

    Here's the game statistics (River Plate vs Gimnasia Y Esgrima La Plata):

    • ball possession: 74% vs 26%;
    • corner kicks: 8 vs 3;
    • fouls: 11 vs 11;
    • yellow cards: 2 vs 1;
    • shots on target: 3 vs 3.

    River Plate have made a terrible start to the Clausura - two defeats, no points. Over their last ten matches they've averaged 1.4 goals scored and 1.2 conceded, so the problems aren't just up front; the defensive side has gotten shakier too. The recent run makes it worse: four losses in five, with just one win. Even with the squad quality they have, River need to sharpen up or they're looking at a third straight defeat.

    Club Atletico Rosario Central Team Overview

    The away team played their last official match on as part of the Primera Division tournament (home team - Club Atletico Rosario Central, away - Racing Club Avellaneda). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:0.

    Here are the match stats (Club Atletico Rosario Central vs Racing Club Avellaneda):

    • ball possession: 59% vs 41%;
    • corner kicks: 6 vs 2;
    • fouls: 12 vs 20;
    • yellow cards: 2 vs 6;
    • shots on target: 1 vs 2.

    Rosario Central have had a poor start to the new tournament as well - just one point from two matches. Over their last ten games, they've been averaging 1.2 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per match, which doesn't point to any clear edge for either attack or defence. Recent form is weak: one win, one draw and three defeats in five matches. With that kind of inconsistency, it won't be easy for the visitors to take advantage of River's struggles - even if the hosts are clearly far from their best right now.
