League leaders River Plate would be vying for their tenth consecutive victory at home when they host Estudiante on Friday.
River Plate are currently seeded at the pinnacle of the table as they boast of a nine-point gap between themselves and second-placed Talleres de Cordoba. Los Millonarios have a fantastic record playing in their own backyard with a scintillating record of ten wins and one draw in 11 games.
The home side thrashed their opponents 5-0 the last time the two sides locked horns at the Estadio Mâs Monumental and River Plate will look to take inspiration from their victory.
After kicking off their campaign with two defeats in three games, Estudiantes got back on track as they lost just a single game in their next 21 fixtures. And despite them being considered a strong team to beat, a string of four successive draws in their previous five fixtures could be seen as a point of concern.
Winless in their previous five encounters, the away side could struggle against the league leaders who also have a magnificent record playing at home.
