Preview
River Plate and Def. Sporting meet at Parque Federico Omar Saroldi, in a match for the 2nd round of the Primera División. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium favours the away team, since in the last 5 head‑to‑heads they won 2 and tied 3. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Primera División, played on 24‑06‑2023, they tied (1‑1). Matías Rocha (75' Autogolo) scored for River Plate and Leandro Barcia (7' ) for Def. Sporting. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis River Plate

The home team comes to this 2nd round after a (1‑0) loss in their league debut, against Wanderers. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. In the last 7 home league matches River Plate has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 21 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (5 out of 7 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 12 of the last 18 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 16 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 18 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 9 of their 20 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

River Plate did not perform well in the Apertura and started the Torneo Intermedio with another defeat, increasing the pressure on the team. The fight to move away from the bottom positions and avoid relegation requires an immediate reaction. Playing at home, the team needs to impose itself, improve offensive efficiency, and show better defensive organisation. The clash is seen as crucial to regain confidence and get back on the path to victory. Any slip-up could worsen their position in the table.
 

Confirmed Lineup: F. Correa González, Lautaro Pertusatti, Franco Valentín Cabrera Casco, N. Ramos Ríos, Christian Almeida, Agustín Bernardo Vera Flores, Facundo de León Abate, Emiliano Nicolás Jourdan Bellion, M. Alfonso Colina, Inti Alessio López Pose, Juan Cruz De los Santos.
Coach: I. Ithurralde Sáez.

Analysis Def. Sporting

The away team comes to this 2nd round after a (3‑2) win in their league debut, against Cerro Largo. 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 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 7 away league matches Def. Sporting has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 21 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 7 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 9 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Defensor started the Intermedio with an important victory, which helped boost the squad’s confidence after an irregular campaign in the Apertura. The team showed balance between defence and attack and now aims to maintain this standard to keep collecting points. Even playing away, they intend to be protagonists, relying on tactical consistency to achieve a good result. A new win could consolidate a good run and put the team in contention near the top of the table.
 

Confirmed Lineup: Kevin Dawson, Guillermo De los Santos, Lucas Furtado, Juan Viacava Caviglia, Xavier Biscayzacú Vázquez, Matías Ezequiel Abaldo Menyou, José Álvarez Medero, Francisco Ginella Dabezies, Mauricio Federico Amaro Viega, Kevin Estiven Prieto Machado, Maximiliano Gómez.
