Prediction

River Plate's surprise defeat to Godoy Cruz will have posed some questions stretching their winless league run to three matches.
Talleres are the next opponent for River in continental action in an all-Argentinian clash but with that game just under a month away, they have chance to focus domestically - a rare occurrence for them.
Sarmiento surprised title challengers Racing Club in a 1-0 win last time out with three wins in four matches suggesting an upturn in form has arrived at the perfect moment for the perennial strugglers.
It is no coincidence that Sarmiento's three recent wins have all been accompanied by clean sheets - defensive resilience is a staple of Israel Damonte's side.
