The home team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with no points won yet, after 2 wins, 4 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Defensor Sporting, by (1‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Cerro, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 18 conceded.

Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

River Plate have struggled to find their footing this season. The team has shown a degree of inconsistency on the pitch, with fluctuations both in their defensive setup and attacking build-up. Even so, they tend to be competitive at home, usually relying on a more reactive approach and tactical discipline. Against a more traditional opponent, the key challenge will be staying focused for the full 90 minutes and avoiding mistakes that could jeopardise their game plan.
