Match Preview
As River Plate prepares to face Cerro in the Primera Division on Saturday, 2 August, the match promises to be an intriguing contest. River Plate's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with just one win in their last five matches (LDDWD). Conversely, Cerro has shown signs of improvement, securing a win in their last outing after a string of disappointing results (LDLLW). Historically, River Plate has dominated this fixture, winning six of the last ten encounters, but Cerro's recent performance could indicate a potential upset.
One angle to consider is the scoring potential in this match. Both teams have shown vulnerabilities in defence, with River Plate conceding in four of their last five games and Cerro also struggling at the back. The odds for both teams to score (BTTS) at 2.2 suggest that bookmakers expect a lively encounter. Given the attacking capabilities of both sides, fans can anticipate an engaging match at Estadio Luis Franzini, where the stakes are high for both teams looking to improve their league standings.
