River Plate to Win
Four of the last five head-to-head duels between River Plate and Boca Juniors have ended without a winner and we were tempted to suggest the same for this game.

Over 2.5 Total Goals
While we’ve seen three or more goals in just two of the last five h2h meetings between River Plate and Boca Juniors, we expect this game to go over 2.5 total goals.
After all, River Plate averaged 2.83 goals per game in Copa de la Liga Profesional so far, while Boca Juniors averaged 2.33 goals per game in the league this season.

River Plate vs Boca Juniors preview: The biggest derby in Argentina
River Plate
The defending champions of Argentina have started the new season well in Copa de la Liga Profesional with thirteen points from the first six games and they are on their way to making it to the playoffs of the competition. Of course, all of this doesn’t mean much when it comes to the next game against Boca Juniors since their matches are always unpredictable.
Boca Juniors
The team from Buenos Aires has eleven points from the first six rounds of Copa de la Liga Profesional, which is a solid number of points that keeps them in hunt for a playoff spot. Boca Juniors didn’t have the best of season last year, but if they can keep up and reach the playoffs in this competition it will be a good start of the new one.
