Prediction

Seven goals conceded and no goals scored in their last two matches is a worrying trend for Argentinos Juniors heading into a match against an opponent of the calibre of River Plate.
The positive for Argentinos Juniors is the depth in their squad has improved thoroughly since their last Primera Division campaign.
River Plate will want to put their shock Copa Argentina exit to Temperley behind them in this one.
With Copa Libertadores knockout qualification all but secured, River can afford to play a strengthened side here.
