Corners Prediction
River Plate have had fewer than 5.5 corners in seven consecutive Primera División matches, which confirms a consistent trend of low corner counts for the hosts.

Correct Score Prediction

⭐ Editor's Prediction
River Plate are clear favourites given the considerable gap in class between the two sides and should spend the majority of the match on the front foot. Rather than betting on the result, though, the more interesting angle is on goals: at least three have been scored in each of the hosts' last five matches. Estudiantes Río Cuarto are bottom of the table and are unlikely to withstand the pressure of a stronger opponent for the full 90 minutes, while still likely to create a few chances on the counter-attack. Our bet, therefore, is Total Goals - Over 2.5.
