Our Best Picks and Betting Tips for River Plate vs Argentinos Juniors

River Plate to Win

It will be interesting to see which of the two styles prevails in this duel, as both teams love possession, and do their best to win the ball back once they lose it. We predict that the home team will win, as El Millonario is stronger at their stadium. Also, Argentinos Juniors lost the last four h2h.

Under 2.5 Goals

Both teams struggled to score in the first two games despite the number of chances they had. This time we think the number of shots will be lower as it will be more difficult for each team to overcome their opponents’ solid defence. For these reasons, it is likely that the number of goals will be low.

BTTS – No

In four of the last six head-to-head meetings, we saw no BTTS, as on three occasions River Plate kept a clean sheet, while Argentinos Juniors did so once. Both teams have already had a clean sheet, so we expect either team to do it again.

River Plate vs Argentinos Juniors Preview: Thrilling Matchup At The Monumental?

River Plate

After an impressive debut when visited Central Cordoba, River Plate lost 2-1 to Belgrano, one of the newly promoted teams. Once again, Martin Demichelis’ team dominated the match but struggled to open the scoring.

Belgrano shot only twice on target, and both shots ended in goals. El Millonario tried in many ways but barely scored a goal to reduce the goal difference. Venezuelan striker Salomon Rondón made his debut when he came on in the 67th minute.

Argentinos Juniors

For the second time in a row, Gabriel Milito’s team dominated the game from start to finish. In the first match against Rosario Central, El Bicho shot 18 times but did not score, in their second match against Racing Club they also shot 18 times, fortunately, this time they did score.

Still, Argentinos Juniors need to improve their accuracy to make the most of the chances they have in every game. 1 goal after 36 shots is not a good average. It should be noted that goalkeeper Federico Lanzillota got his first clean sheet.
