Belgrano Defence Set to Limit River Attack
Belgrano sit second in the standings after three wins and two draws in their last five outings. Their back line has kept things tight, conceding just 0.6 goals per game recently and 0.7 at home across the season. River Plate average 1.1 goals per game on the road, well below their overall mark of 1.6. The visitors have also recorded only one defeat and one draw in their last five matches, showing some inconsistency in attack. Both teams have produced low-scoring games for much of the campaign, with fewer than three goals in most of their fixtures. Belgrano have kept clean sheets in half of their 32 league games so far. The matchup may hinge on whether River can create enough clear chances away from home against a side that rarely concedes many.
