River Plate (home)
- River Plate are 3rd in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 on 26 points from 14 games (W8, D2, L4).
- Eduardo Coudet’s men have been much the more impressive side since the Argentine tactician took charge in March 2026, playing a proactive, aggressive style of soccer, pressing high, transitioning quickly and using their width well.
- River’s last three games are a 2-0 away win over Racing Club, a 1-0 home victory in the Copa Sudamericana, and a 0-1 home defeat to bitter rivals Boca Juniors.
- River have 4 wins from 6 at home in the Apertura and have conceded only 6 goals on their own patch this season.
Aldosivi (away)
- Aldosivi are in the relegation zone, placed 29th, with 7 points from 14 matches.
- Israel Damonte’s men will be tough to crack on Sunday, as Damonte has re-organised the team into a tight, compact block, which will sit deep and look to make the most of set pieces and direct transitions to try and get on the front foot.
- Aldosivi are without a win in their last 3, drawing 0-0 at home to mid-table Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto, losing 1-0 away to Belgrano, and drawing 1-1 at home to Racing Club.
- The visitors have failed to win any of their 7 matches on the road this term, drawing 1 and losing 6, conceding an average of 1.57 goals-per-game.
Key Players
-
River Plate:
- River’s Gonzalo Montiel has been a reliable goal source this season, with 4 goals in 13 league games.
- Tomas Galvan has also hit some form recently, netting twice in their last 5.
-
Aldosivi:
- Aldosivi have been stifled in front of goal this term and need their top scorer, Federico Acevedo, to fire if they are to have any chance of getting a result in this game.
Betting Insights
- River are 1.32 favorites here with the bookies and their visitors are 9.5.
- Those prices look wide of the mark, given River’s superior form, home record and tactical advantages.
- The Both teams to score - No option looks a good wager here at 1.48, with River’s solid defensive record and Aldosivi’s lack of goal-scoring form the main reasons behind this choice.
Prediction
- River should have enough quality and momentum to take all 3 points in front of their own fans and consolidate their top-three position.
- Aldosivi need the points more than their hosts and will be desperate to get something on the board to ease their relegation battle, but they just don’t look equipped to trouble the stronger sides in the division.
