- River Plate have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches in all competitions
- Aldosivi are winless in their last 5, losing 3 and drawing 2
River Plate look to maintain top-three status
CA River Plate will be a tough opponent for any team in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 right now. Eduardo Coudet has installed a proactive, attacking style of play since taking over as head coach in March 2026. He sets his team up to press high, play on the front foot, and make the transition from defense to attack with haste.
Our CA River Plate vs Club Atletico Aldosivi prediction highlights how Coudet’s River Plate side like to play with width and have players that can play in any of the attacking positions, meaning they can overload areas with or without the ball and always look to control the ball and territory. In Gonzalo Montiel (4 goals in 13 games), River have a consistent goal threat in the league and have also been helped by Tomas Galvan’s timely scoring form in the last few weeks with 2 in his last 5 appearances.
On home field, River Plate have been in excellent form, winning 4 of their 6 games in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 and conceding just 6 goals. They come into this game off the back of a 2-0 victory away to Racing Club, a 1-0 home win in the Copa Sudamericana and a narrow 0-1 defeat at home to their bitter rivals Boca Juniors. The CA River Plate vs Club Atletico Aldosivi preview suggests a competitive fixture, considering the form these teams bring into the encounter.
Aldosivi in a battle to avoid relegation
While River Plate sit comfortably inside the top three, the CA River Plate vs Club Atletico Aldosivi prediction reflects a completely different battle for Aldosivi. In 29th place with just 7 points from 14 games, they are in the relegation spots and in need of points if they are to pull themselves away from the drop zone.
Israel Damonte has made Aldosivi a tough to break down team since taking over as manager in March 2026, with a compact shape and pragmatic style of soccer. They are not a side that plays with much risk and tend to make their chances from set pieces or in transition.
Their recent form is of some concern though, Aldosivi are without a win in 5, with their three most recent games being a 0-0 home draw with Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto, a 1-0 defeat away to Belgrano and a 1-1 draw at home to Racing Club. Federico Acevedo is Aldosivi’s top scorer in the Apertura with just 2 goals from 13 appearances, while they have lost both of their most recent away games in the competition.
River Plate should have the edge
While Aldosivi are a compact, tough to beat team, I don’t think they have enough about them to stop River Plate in their own home. The CA River Plate vs Club Atletico Aldosivi prediction is further underlined by Aldosivi's struggles on the road: they are winless away from home in the Apertura, with 1 draw and 6 defeats from their 7 games on the road, conceding an average of 1.57 goals per away match. The River Plate pressing game should make Aldosivi keep their deep shape more often and they will have to try to catch River on the break.
Among the most relevant CA River Plate vs Club Atletico Aldosivi betting tips is backing both teams to score - No at 1.48 as my selection here. River have been very solid defensively this season, while this Aldosivi side are not big scorers. River are a heavy favorite at 1.32 and Aldosivi are 9.5, which is probably about right for the match result. However, River have a much better home record and form, the match has more meaning to them and I am going to back them to earn all 3 points in front of their own fans.
