Meetings between these two often end in a way Argentinos Juniors do not much enjoy, because Independiente Rivadavia are the side that has more often come away with the better result, including the most recent meeting, a 3-1 win in April. This time, though, Argentinos Juniors come in as the team higher up the table and playing at home. Argentinos Juniors have done well in the league, winning 7 of 13 matches and closing out their latest game with a 1-0 win. Their attack is not exactly ferocious, but a defence that has conceded only 11 goals has kept them in the upper group of the table. Independiente Rivadavia, meanwhile, have been up and down: 5 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses, scoring about as many as the hosts but conceding as many as 21, and they were just thrashed 0-5 in their last match. This game is likely to see Argentinos Juniors dominate the ball and push forward, while Independiente Rivadavia sit back and wait for the moment to counter at speed. If the hosts cannot break through quickly, the game could drag on and finish close, which is the way the visitors are more comfortable with.
