River Plate vs Huracan
Argentina – Liga Profesional
Date: Sunday, 1 August 2021
Kick-off at 22:00 UK/ 23:00 CET
Venue: Estadio Antonio Vespucio Liberti.
River Plate had narrowly missed out on the title the last season, but are determined to win it back this time around. Meanwhile, Huracan were placed 21st in a table of 24 the previous campaign. Surely expect River to be the better team on the pitch this Sunday.
They had posted 47 points on the board in the previous edition of the Primera Division, and had a lead of eight points over the third-placed Velez. However, arch-rivals Boca Juniors had 48 points, and secured the title.
River did scored the most number of goals in the competition, and had lost just four times all through the campaign.
In the meantime, Huracan had scored the fewest number of goals, and also had won just five times through the campaign. Finally, they also have a poor h2h record against this foe.
As such, expect a win for River Plate this Sunday.
River are on a three-fixture winning streak, and they have lost just three times at home in the past ten appearances.
They had also scored two or more goals in four of their past seven home games, and had a combined scorecard of 9-0 from their previous three overall matches.
On the other hand, their counterparts were winless in 18 of their former 21 overall fixtures, and in the process they had even gone on a five-game losing stretch. They have also won just once on the road since the first week of November.
Taking into account these observations, and previous h2h stats, expect a compelling win for River Plate this weekend.
