River Plate produced a remarkable performance to secure an important 3-1 away success at Huracan, which allowed them to climb into the top of group A table (alongside Boca Juniors and Argentinos Juniors) on four points. The team are on seven matches unbeaten in the Copa Liga Profesional, having won six and drawn one. El Millonario managed seven points from the last nine on offer playing as hosts at Independiente in domestic action.
Sarandi Arsenal will face a tough task if they want to fight for a ticket to the Copa Liga Profesional’s final following their 1-0 home defeat to Argentinos Juniors last time out: the team grabbed only one point from six available in the second stage and have managed a single victory in their last five matches (one draw and three defeats). On away turf, they took five points from 12 on offer in this competition, having won one, drawn two and lost one.
River is without any doubts the best team in the country and I can’t see them having any trouble beating this very irregular Arsenal.
