Prediction

Platense were limited against Newells Old Boys on the opening day, but just one loss in the last eight games of Copa de la Liga shows they remain competitive.
Mateo Pellegrino's five goals in Copa de la Liga were a key component to Platense's ability to win out in even fixtures but whether that is sustainable or not remains to be seen.
Carlos Tevez is under immense pressure at Independiente and a poor opening day showing against Talleres did him no favours.
Inconsistency has plagued Tevez's time with El Rojo but the bright spark comes in the form of bright young talent Santiago Lopez who could be a difference maker.
