CA River Plate play host to Boca Juniors at Estadio Mas Monumental on matchday 15 in Liga Profesional Argentina. This is the second phase in this competition. The hosts finished the first phase in Group B in fourth place with 25 points and were four points behind Rosario Central. Boca Juniors, on the other hand, topped Group A with a three-point lead. Let's head into the match prediction.

CA River Plate are the most successful club in Liga Profesional Argentina with a record 38 league titles. However, the 2022-23 Champions failed to defend their trophy last season when they lost to Velez Sarsfield. Their performance this season has been impressive. They have lost just one of their last 14 games while picking up six wins and seven draws in the process.

Boca Juniors are also challenging for the league title this season. The last time they lifted the silverware was in the 2021-22 season when they finished with a two-point lead at the top.

River Plate - Boca Juniors: Form Analysis

CA River Plate comes into this match after playing a thrilling 2-2 away draw against Independiente Valle on matchday three in the CONMEBOL Libertadores group stage. The good news is that they still top Group B, albeit with a one-point cushion.

Regarding their league performance, Los Millonarios are unbeaten in six games, recording two wins and four draws. Their last match was against Gimnasia La Plata. It was a walk in the park for the visitors who won 3-0.

The hosts are winless in their last two home league games against Boca Juniors. 

Boca Juniors are not part of the CONMEBOL Libertadores this season. This means they head into this clash with a fresh pair of legs. Nothing but a positive result will be deemed favourable.

Xeneize's  last league game was against Estudiantes. Second-half goals from Carlos Palacios and Miguel Merentiel were enough to see the team win 2-0 at home.

This result marked their ninth win in the last ten league games. Notably, they have won three consecutive matches, with six goals scored during this impressive run.

River Plate & Boca Juniors Squad Analysis

CA River Plate have no fresh injury news to report on at the moment other than the regular eight. 

Marcos Acuna, Santiago Beltran, Miguel Borja, Paulo Diaz, Pity Martinez, Maximiliano Meza, Enzo Perez, Agustin Ruberto are all ruled out for the hosts. 

Miguel Borja has scored in two of his last three appearances for CA River Plate. 

Head coach Fernando Gago won't make any changes to the starting lineup that won 2-0 against Estudiantes. We could see a 4-2-3-1 formation with Edinson Cavani and Miguel Merentiel leading the attack up front. 

Miguel Merentiel is Boca Juniors' top goalscorer this season with four goals. Expect the 29-year-old to leave his mark at Estadio Mas Monumental.

Our River Plate vs Boca Juniors Prediction

This can be considered a big match between CA River Plate and Boca Juniors, and head coach Marcelo Gallardo will be hoping his team comes away with maximum points. However, that's easier said than done, considering the hosts have won just three of their last seven encounters against CA River Plate.

Boca Juniors have the opportunity to keep their unbeaten run in the league intact. The visitors have won five of their last nine away league games, and there's reason to believe they'll avoid defeat here. Our CA River Plate v Boca Juniors prediction: both teams to score.
