Prediction

Defeat to Belgrano upon their return to league action will have been a disappointment for Deportivo Riestra, particularly given their shock victory over River Plate prior to the break.
With four defeats in their last five league outings, Riestra need to start picking up points in tight games, holding out for a draw where possible to keep their heads above water.
Argentinos Juniors were left frustrated having missed a number of chances before a clinical Tigre outfit got the better of them in their return to league action.
Inconsistency has been a real problem for Pablo Guede's side and that defeat only strengthened their need for stability in key areas having consistently rotated throughout the campaign so far.
