This game is likely to be decided in the closing stages, as both teams score most of their goals during the 76-90 minute period. River Plate score 30% of their total goals in this period, while Santa Fe also score 28% in this period. However, one thing to watch is that River Plate concede 25% of their total goals during the 16-30 minute period, which is when Santa Fe like to push forward (scoring 12% in this period). Nevertheless, River Plate clearly dominate possession according to the expected numbers, and the last meeting between the two ended 0-0, so this game is likely to be more open. The first thing to watch after kickoff is whether River Plate's defense can handle Santa Fe's counterattacks during the 16-30 minute period.
