River Plate enters this round unbeaten and chasing the league leaders, having dropped points just once in five matches. Their flawless home record gives them immense confidence, having won all three fixtures on their own pitch convincingly.

The hosts have been relentless going forward, scoring 15 times in just five outings. They will test a Ferro Carril Oeste backline that has relied entirely on keeping things tight, conceding only four goals despite their poor overall form.

Ferro’s inability to win stems directly from a severe lack of firepower. The visitors have managed just one goal all season and have completely failed to score in four away trips, putting massive pressure on their defense to secure points.

Past meetings between these two sides heavily favor the hosts, with River Plate unbeaten in their last five head-to-head clashes. Ferro has routinely struggled to break out of their own half in this fixture, resulting in three draws and two defeats.

With Ferro offering virtually zero threat going forward, River Plate should comfortably control possession and territory. A straight home victory is the most logical outcome, as the visitors lack the attacking tools needed to punish any mistakes.
