At home, the hosts average 1.61 goals and 6 shots on target per match, while the visitors score just 0.38 goals away from home, averaging 2.85 shots on target.

View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Over the course of the season, both teams have rarely found the net: River Plate average 0.43 goals per match, while Estudiantes Río Cuarto average 0.38. The hosts have failed to score in 64% of their matches, and the visitors in 62%, strongly supporting the case that at least one team will fail to score. The season-long rates of both teams scoring are 21% and 38%, respectively, below the league average of 47%. Recent form is the main argument against BTTS - No: both teams scored in 100% of River Plate’s and 80% of Estudiantes’ last five matches. Despite this uptick, their season-long struggles in front of goal—particularly those of the visitors—slightly favour the scenario in which at least one team fails to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
In their last 5 matches, River Plate averaged 2,0 goals scored, while Estudiantes Río Cuarto conceded 1,8, pointing to the home side’s attacking advantage. The visitors scored 0,8 goals per match over this period, although River Plate conceded 1,4, so an away goal remains possible. Recent form points towards goals: at least 3 goals were scored in 80% of River Plate’s last 5 matches and 60% of Estudiantes’ games. Even so, in the matches covered by the season statistics, the 3,5-goal line has not been exceeded once by the hosts and was exceeded in only 8% of the visitors’ matches. Therefore, with a projected total of 2,55 goals, Under 3,5 offers a stronger signal than the other lines, although recent results temper confidence in this assessment.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest signal in favor of River Plate leading at the break is their recent form: the hosts were ahead at half-time in 3 of their last 5 matches, while Estudiantes Río Cuarto did not go into the break with a lead in any of their matches over the same period. River have recently averaged 0.8 first-half goals, while the visitors have conceded an average of 0.8 in the first half. The difference in overall form also points to River holding on to their lead: the hosts have won 3 of their last 5 matches, while the visitors have lost 4 and won none. Estudiantes concede an average of 1.85 goals per match this season, including 1.31 after the break, increasing River’s chances of maintaining or extending their advantage. A half-time draw remains a notable alternative, as it occurred in 57% of the hosts’ matches and 54% of the visitors’ matches this season; however, current form most strongly supports the 1/1 scenario.
