Strong offensive lines

Three home defeats in a row for River Plate, vs Defensa, Union and Patronato. However they got back on their feet and they registered a huge away win 0-4 vs Godoy Cruz in Mendoza, while in the previous round, they won 1-2 Velez Sarsfield in Jose Amalfitani. These results give hopes for their future, however they have 6 points less than the Copa Libertadores placed Boca Juniors. They are a quality team, especially their offensive line that can easily score. Defender Monitel will be available for Marcelo Gallardo, in contrast to Scocco.

Racing Club are doing great, they haven't been defeated in the League since last October. They've registered 7 wins and 1 draw since then. In their most recent game, they won 3-1 Huracan in their home. They are certainly on top of the table with a 13-3-1 record. Moreover, they are 3 points above second-placed Defensa and 11 points above Boca Juniors. Their effective offensive line have scored 32 goals so far and they're considered as the best in the League. The experienced attacker Dario Cvitanich from Banfield is now part of the team. He made a great start by scoring a goal in Jose Maria Minella vs Aldosivi (1-3), two weeks ago. Lisandro Lopez, Ricardo Centurion and Jonathan Cristaldo are 100% fit.

An impressive game is going to take place in Monumental tonight. River Plate will search for a home win, while Racing can easily score and take all the points. Both teams have an offensive quality. I expect a high scoring game, so over 2.5 goals at 2.30 will be my call.
