River Plate will be eager to bounce back after their midweek disappointment, losing the Super Cup final to Talleres on penalties.
Today, they face a side that struggled away from home in the previous Clausura, losing 7 of 13 matches and conceding 16 goals. To make matters worse, their squad is weakened this Apertura due to the absence of their two key strikers from last season Estigarribia, who left on transfer, and Renzo Tesuri, sidelined with a long-term injury.
River has been dominant at home, winning three of their four matches without conceding a goal. However, they were outplayed in their last home fixture by a strong Estudiantes side.
What we say
River Plate to Win
What sets River and Boca apart from the rest of the league is their solid defense and the quality of their individual players, such as Borja and Driussi, who can decide a game in an instant.
Given River's current form four wins in their last five matches compared to Tucumán's struggles, with no wins in their last three and a defense that has conceded 12 goals in eight games, River holds a clear advantage. Adding to this, River has a strong record against Tucumán, remaining unbeaten in their last eight head-to-head encounters.
