River could remain unchanged after finally finding a route to a convincing victory. Javier Pinola and Emanuel Mammana will likely have lost their places in the team now. There could be a number of changes after a woeful display last time out.
Estudiantes have lost their last 3 matches (Liga Profesional). River Plate have seen under 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches against Estudiantes in all competitions. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Estudiantes's last 3 games (Liga Profesional). Estudiantes have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches (Liga Profesional).
River Plate looked back to their best with a convincing 3-0 win away at Argentinos Juniors last time out after a shaky period. Just two wins in the last five matches is not the sort of form Marcelo Gallardo can accept of River Plate, especially when they are out of the Copa Libertadores. Estudiantes were demolished by lowly Colon last time out to make it three defeats on the spin, with pressure building. Ricardo Zielinski's Estudiantes have conceded nine goals in their last three games which speaks volumes of their issues. 3:1
