Union vs River Plate
Argentina – Liga Profesional
Date: Sunday, 19 June 2022
Kick-off at 22:00 UK / 23:00 CET
Venue: Estadio 15 de Abril.
Union were having a disappointing fluctuating form before playing their first Liga Profesional fixture this season. They were winless in six of their past 8 outings in all competitions before entering the league outings this campaign.
Union recorded a 2-2 draw on road against Colon in their most recent league fixture to wove a thread of two winless games this season. The other one was a 1-2 defeat against Tigre at home. They will be hoping to better themselves by sealing a win from their upcoming league outing.
Meanwhile, River Plate had a decent form before entering this Liga Profesional season. They were recording unbeaten outcomes mostly of late. Their offensive and defensive line-up were also having a decent form. They followed the above to face their opening league fixture this season.
River Plate faced Defensa Y Justicia on road in their opening fixture. The match ended up in a goalless draw. They added the same from their second league outing against Athletico Tucuman extending their winless, unbeaten streak to two games without scoring and leaking a goal.
The home form of Union is not that impressive at present. They are winless in four of the past 5 home fixtures across all competitions. Their opening home fixture against Tigre also ended up in a 1-2 defeat for them.
On the other side, River Plate is having an impressive form on road. They are mostly unbeaten in most of their recent on road outings across all competitions.
Analyzing the above stats, we are convinced enough to back River Plate as they are currently possessing an impressive away form.
