River Plate vs Instituto Córdoba - 23/06/2023
1523
It's matchday 21 of the Argentine Primera Division this Thursday night with River Plate set to welcome Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba to the Estadio Mâs Monumental where the league leaders will aim to put one hand on the title.
River Plate are currently sitting top of the Argentine Primera Division with a seven-point gap on Talleres Cordoba in second.
Quite incredibly, after 20 games, River Plate have created a gap of 19 points on the defending champions and arch rivals, Boca Juniors.
The league leaders have secured 15 wins this campaign with just three losses on the board and two draws.
Their only losses this season have been to the second-placed Cordoba back in May, while they also lost to last-placed Arsenal Sarandi three months ago after a defeat to Belgrano on matchday two.
River Plate are, however, currently on a three-game winning run after defeating Fluminense in the Copa Libertadores just before wins over Banfield and Defansa y Justicia where they scored a total of six goals across both league games.
The last time the club dropped points was in draws with Sporting Cristal and Velez Sarsfield that saw them draw in the Copa Libertadores and again in the league.
In the Libertadores, River Plate are sitting second with just one game left to play, but with Cristal right behind them, the club could drop further down the table with a defeat in the final game.
As for Instituto, they drew last time out with Racing Club, as Adrian Emmanuel Martinez scored before a late equaliser from Racing.
It kept the club in 21st place in the league, although they are just six points behind Boca Juniors in 11th.
The club are coming into this one with a gap of four points on Velez Sarsfield and Huracan in the bottom four, and at the very least, they have a healthy gap on the bottom four.
They did defeat Deportivo Riestra 4-1 in the Copa Argentina first round two weeks ago, but with losses to Rosario Central, San Lorenzo and a draw with Estudiantes, Instituto have failed to win any of their previous four games in the Argentina Primera Division.
Instituto have still only managed to score just 16 goals in 20 games in the league and let in 26.
They have also won only five of their matches so far in what has been a poor season for them.
Forebet predicts a comfortable win for River Plate and for the game to see over 2.5 goals.
