⭐ Editor's Prediction
River Plate are considered the favourites here, but Belgrano should not be underestimated. The hosts sit second in the table for good reason and are particularly confident on home soil, where they regularly produce attacking football. The visitors also have a strong attack and are capable of creating dangerous chances even against serious opposition. Neither side is especially reliable defensively, which increases the likelihood of both teams getting on the scoresheet. The editor's main prediction is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
