Contents
- Competition: Copa de la Liga Profesional
- Date: Thursday, 19th October 2023

Despite having a disappointing season in Liga Profesional, where they finished 27th with a mere 25 points in 27 matches, Colon Santa Fe showed promising performance in the Copa de la Liga Profesional. Currently positioned at 4th place after eight rounds, they have accumulated 13 points. Their strong start in the competition positions them as potential contenders for the top spot in the league, especially if they secure a victory against River Plate.
River Plate, a prominent Argentine club, clinched their 37th league championship three months ago, leaving Talleres Cordoba, the second-placed team, trailing by 11 points. Regrettably, their performance in the Copa Libertadores and domestic Cup was not as impressive, as they were eliminated in the 1/16 and 1/8 Finals respectively. Nevertheless, they are excelling in the Copa de la Liga Profesional, currently holding the top spot with 16 points from 8 matches, a three-point lead over their upcoming rival, Colon Santa Fe.
Colon Santa Fe vs River Plate pick: Colon Santa Fe to win or draw
River Plate may be considered the superior team on paper, but the home pitch advantage in Argentina is truly remarkable. In the Copa de la Liga, teams playing at home have only lost six times out of 56 games (10.7%).
Colon Santa Fe is one of those teams who have managed to maintain an undefeated record when playing at home. Impressively, they have won a total of ten points in four home games, whereas they have only earned three points in four away matches. Similarly, River Plate showcases comparable statistics, having won just once in four away games in the competition. In fact, River Plate has only managed to secure two victories in 14 away games across all competitions.
River Plate has only won once in their previous eight head-to-head games at Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López.
