Dep. Riestra (DWDDL)

In their last match, Deportivo Riestra played tough to draw 1-1 against Gimnasia LP. A late own goal in stoppage time earned them a point after they were in complete control of possession, winning just 25% of it, and despite going completely to the board in the end. Gimnasia were shot out (17 attempts vs 4) by the team, but their defensive unity kept them to just 5 shots on target. Especially in the latter stages when Riestra attempted to salvage something from the match through Herrera, the keeper blocked a late penalty too. However, they continue to lack a delectable dose of offensive firepower, which appears to be their biggest problem ahead of the River Plate clash.

River Plate (WLLWW)

In the previous round, River Plate won 1-0 against Atlético Tucumán. River totally dominated the game, despite a close scoreline, by taking 38 shots and having 62% possession. Colidio struck in the 79thminute, from a Mastantuono assist, the only goal in the encounter. Tucumán shot only 8 and managed 3 on target against River’s defense, which seemed solid. Even though they got only 13 shots on target out of 38 attempts, they could have been something to work on in beating a well organized Riestra team.
