Home team River Plate beat Barracas Central 3-0 in a game where the visitors were largely on the back foot. River controlled the opening 45 minutes, with 65 percent possession and eight shots on target, and the goal remained unchanged. Barracas kept themselves in the defensive side of the game, but even in their efforts, they didn't come up with many chances to score, only one of them on target in the first half. In the second half, River Plate dominated further before finally scoring goals. Miguel Borja opened the scoring in the 62nd minute with a well worked move involving Bustos that ended with a perfect cross. Meza doubled the lead in the 69th minute after an assist from Mastantuono, following shortly afterwards. Diaz wrapped up the scoring in the 87th minute, the third goal coming after a quick counter attack. On the other hand, Barracas Central were unable to respond, mustering only three shots altogether on the day, two of those on target. River Plate won statistically in all aspects of the game. River was extremely physical, especially defensively, and the visiting team was always under pressure and was unable to play with quality, which also resulted in the visiting team being blocked several of their opponents' attempts to attack. With this result, Barracas Central is in 28th place in the table with 16 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses, with a record of 10 goals scored and 29 goals conceded.

A balanced match ended with Belgrano winning 3-1 against Instituto. Belgrano began well in the first half, scoring after just 4 minutes with a strike by Jara, which was set up by Compagnucci. Alarcón equalized the score in the 22nd minute for Instituto, which was quick to respond. The response meant Belgrano continued to push and, in the 36th minute, they bagged their second goal through Lucco, assisted by Compagnucci, and went into the half 2-1 up. By the numbers, Instituto edged out possession 52% to 48% and Belgrano was more efficient in shots on goal (2 to 1). Belgrano made it 3-0 in the 59th when Chavaria scored, with Lucco providing the assist. Instituto then tried to react, winning possession (64%) and taking shots (6 vs. 5), but without succeeding in overturning the result. It was a defensive focus from Belgrano, who managed to see off the visitors' opportunities. Ultimately, Instituto had 58% of the ball and 12 shots while Belgrano had nine. But Belgrano proved decisive in his efficiency. With this result, Belgrano is in 11th place in the table with 30 points. In the last 5 league games, the team has recorded 1win, 2 draws, and 2 losses, with a record of 27 goals scored and 25 goals conceded.

In the last 4 games between these 2 teams, Barracas Central has won 2, and Belgrano has also won 2. Goals were scored in all of those games, but with both teams scoring in just 1 of the matches.

Despite playing away, I think that Belgrano will not lose this game. Barracas Central is in a really bad momentum right now in my opinion.
