Head-to-head statistics River Plate - Aldosivi
River Plate Team Overview
The international break should benefit River Plate, as the team entered the pause on the back of inconsistent results across all competitions, alternating wins with losses and draws. In early July, the Argentinians played a friendly against Flamengo, delivering a thrilling first half that ended 2-2. At home, River average 1.75 goals per game, while their defensive record over the last ten matches stands at 0.9 goals conceded per outing. Their Copa Argentina campaign got off to an unconvincing start with a narrow 1-0 win over Ciudad Bolivar - a match played back in February, which is unlikely to have much bearing on River’s current form.

Aldosivi Team Overview
Aldosivi are winless in their last 11 matches, a streak stretching from February through May this year. The team have gone two and a half months without proper match practice, which is bound to impact their sharpness in every department. In the ten games leading up to the break, their numbers were grim - they managed just 0.4 goals per game while conceding 1.3 on average. In the previous round, however, Aldosivi did get past San Miguel with a 3-0 victory.

⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
River Plate remain a formidable attacking force, even without several key players. They’ve demonstrated that in their friendly against Flamengo and across six consecutive head-to-head meetings with Aldosivi. To avoid a nervy affair decided by a single goal and constant pressure, the hosts will look to put the game to bed early, ideally by halftime or within the first hour. In this scenario, backing River Plate to score over 1.5 goals stands out as the optimal bet. Our predicted correct score: 2-0 in River Plate’s favour.
