Match Preview
Platense will host Deportivo Riestra at the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López on Sunday, 12 October, in a matchup that sees two teams with contrasting recent forms. Platense comes into this fixture with a mixed bag of results, having recorded one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five matches. In contrast, Deportivo Riestra has shown some resilience, managing to secure two wins in their last five outings, although they also have two losses and a draw.
A key angle to consider is Platense's defensive solidity, as they have not conceded in their last two home matches. This trend could be pivotal against a Deportivo Riestra side that has struggled to find the back of the net consistently, as evidenced by their poor scoring record in head-to-head encounters, where both teams have failed to score in their last ten meetings. With Platense looking to capitalise on their home advantage, this match could very well hinge on their ability to maintain defensive discipline while exploiting any lapses in the visitors' backline.
