On Friday night, Argentinian champions River Plate will look to continue their stellar recent Primera Division form when they visit Argentinos Juniors.
Argentinos Juniors are looking to bounce back from poor runThe home team heads into this clash having lost three of their last four games in all competitions.
Pablo Guede’s team has struggled for victories in the Argentinian top flight, having recorded just one win in their last six games.
Their recent league games have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight outings.
Despite their recent unconvincing league form, Argentinos Juniors are unbeaten on home soil over 90 minutes in 11 games.
The key to their recent good home form in the Primera Division has been their attacking play. They have scored at least two goals in eight of their last ten home league matches.
River suffered a shock Copa defeat last time outLast time out, the visitors drew 1-1 at Temperley in the Copa Argentina but suffered a penalty kick defeat to exit the competition.
The result came after three straight victories in all competitions. River had also scored at least two goals in their previous 11 competitive outings.
The reigning champions have a strong recent record in the Primera Division. They have won four of their last five games and scored at least two goals in all five matches.
River has a mixed recent away record in the Primera Division. Although a 3-1 win at Instituto ended a four-game away run in the top flight, they have also suffered just one defeat in their last seven away games.
The visitors have had the upper hand in recent head-to-head meetings, winning five of the last seven games.
What am I backing?The home team have struggled for results, and the bet I am backing is the away victory simply because they have more quality than the hosts.
