RIVER PLATE v SAN MARTIN SAN JUAN
Monday 17th August 2015 – Kickoff: 1800hrs
Football – Argentina – Primera Division Betting Tips
River Plate extended their unbeaten run to seven matches in the Argentinian Primera Division last weekend when they beat Colon 3-1 at home which maintained their position of third in the league table.
River Plate have also registered back-to-back wins in recent weeks with a previous 5-1 thrashing of Atletico Rafaela away from home the week before, and with a home record which hasn’t been breached so far, the hosts look a good bet for the points in this encounter.
River Plate’s overall home record stands at 5-4-0 16/7 and they’ve recorded recent wins on home turf against Banfield 4-1, Rosario Central 2-0 along with Colon 3-1.
Visitors San Martin San Juan also head into tonight’s clash on the back of an unbeaten run as they’ve put together a four-match sequence without defeat. A recent 3-2 home win over Huracan has been complemented with draws against Estudiantes, Nueva Chicago and Lanus, and San Martin currently sit in a mid-table position.
But away from home, San Martin have registered just one win on their travels which was a 1-0 win away at Temperley amidst an overall away record of 2-4-4 10/14 and they’ve drawn three of their last four on the road.
I believe that River Plate can make the difference here though and avoid another stalemate and they’ll also cover the -1 asian line as well. Could be a solid 2-0 win for River Plate.
