River Plate vs San Lorenzo Prediction
River Plate are defending Argentine champions but Marcelo Gallardo's side have not been up to par this season. Los Millonarios have won four of their last five league games and will be hoping to make a late surge up the table.
San Lorenzo have won their last two away games, claiming narrow 1-0 victories over Central Cordoba and Rosario Central respectively. Their games have been cagey affairs.
We are backing the home side to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.
