May 7th features a match where River Plate will play host to Platense in a Superliga match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. River Plate sits at 2nd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 7-0 blowout win against Sarmiento. Tomás Pochettino struck first for River Plate in the 34th minute, then Julián Álvarez added another in the 35th minute In the end, Sarmiento was frustrated by River Plate’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. River Plate ended the match with the shutout victory. With 20 points in their last 10 matches River Plate should be reasonably happy with their performance, while platense is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Argentinos Juniors. Cesar Florentin scored the first goal for Argentinos Juniors in the 17th minute, then Braian Mansilla tied it up for Platense in the 77th minute on a feed from Héctor Canteros earning Platense at least a draw. Platense looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 3 points in their last 10 matches.
