River Plate vs Platense Prediction
On one hand, we have a River Plate side that’s won three matches in a row; they’ve scored nine goals in that three-game stretch, allowing no goals. On the other hand, Platense have been going through a rough patch lately; they are coming off back-to-back losses, with no wins in their last five matches. It’s also fair to point out that Platense have struggled to find the back of the net in recent weeks, as they blanked in four of their last eight matches. As a matter of fact, Platense did not score more than one goal in any of their last eight games.
Furthermore, River Plate have dominated Platense in the past; as they won all of the last five clashes between these sides. Taking everything into consideration, we are confident that River Plate will win whilst keeping a clean sheet.

Platense Team News
Things have not gone too well for Platense in recent weeks; they’ve won just one of their last eight matches, with no wins in their last five games. It’s worth noting that Platense will not be too high on confidence, as they lost their last two games. Also, Platense have struggled away from home this season; they’ve lost five of their last eight road games, with one win and two draws.
