River Plate vs Sarmiento Junin Prediction & Betting Tips (28 July)

Sarmiento Junin have collected just two points from a possible 25 on the road of late, whilst they have failed to score more than a single goal in 17 consecutive top-flight trips. River Plate, on the other hand, clearly know what they are doing on their own patch, winning six of their last seven league fixtures and outscoring their opponents by 21 goals to three across these wins.

High-flying River Plate don’t tend to be involved in too many thrillers, with 17 of their previous 21 home matches in the Liga Profesional serving up under 2.5 goals. This is a state of affairs that Sarmiento Junin have become familiar with in recent away games, as six of their last nine top-flight trips have also fallen into this same low-scoring category.

Over the course of their previous 20 matches at this elite level of the Liga Profesional, River Plate have been involved in no fewer than 17 contests in which at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet. This has also been the case in 17 of the last 21 Sarmiento Junin away games in the top-flight, so don’t expect the net to bulge at both ends in this encounter.
