River Plate take on the visitors Lanus in the round 6 match of Argentinian Liga Professional. The match will be played on Sunday, July 21st at Estadio Monumental (Buenos Aires).
River Plate have been playing under Demichelis's leadership since last season. As an experienced player, he had minimal coaching experience but managed to bring the grand club the championship title in 2023. He also started the new season successfully. In the Copa Libertadores, the Argentines accumulated 16 points, the highest not only in their group but among all participants. They also won their group in the Diego Maradona Trophy. However, problems began soon after. In the first round of the playoffs, hosting Boca Juniors, the grand club surprisingly lost and was knocked out of the competition. In the regular Primera, after starting with a couple of wins, they then lost to Argentinos Juniors and Deportivo Riestra on the road but defeated Tigre 3-1 at home. There was much to work on during the over month-long break.

Lanús shows itself quite well. The "Granates" finished fourth in last year's Primera. Nevertheless, in 2024, they were placed in the less prestigious Copa Sudamericana. There, however, the Argentines won four times and gathered 13 points, securing first place in their group and avoiding the first playoff round. In the Diego Maradona Trophy, they were just a few points short of qualifying for the knockout stages, finishing sixth in their group with 23 points. This allowed them some rest before the start of the Primera. In the Primera, after a stumble at the start (a 0-2 home loss to Independiente Rivadavia), the team alternated between home wins and away draws.
The last five head-to-head matches have consistently resulted in victories for the "Millonarios." The grand club is considered the favorite at home, but they are not in the best form this summer, while the visitors have improved. Bet on "total over 2.5 goals."
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
