A feat to be achieved

The Colón team has had a difficult time so far in the Argentinean championship, as it is currently in 19th place in the general table, being part of the lower positions of the league. At the moment, Colón has suffered the streak of not being able to win its matches since it has more draws than wins and defeats together, making the situation within the team difficult, since the lack of decisiveness has been a factor for them to end up sharing points with their rivals on several occasions. However, the statistics reflect a balance between defense and offense as they have 21 goals for and 19 against.

Absolute leaders

River Plate has had an excellent performance so far in the championship, as they are currently at the top of the general table with 16 wins, 2 draws and only three losses, and in their last 5 matches they have not lost on any single occasion, so they come to this match as the overwhelming favorites to get the three points. The Millonario team is the favorite to win the first phase of the championship, not only because of the statistics, but also because River is currently the best team playing soccer in Argentina, so in the popular opinion the Millonario team is a big favorite to finish as leader.
