Another edition of the Superclásico is set for Saturday as Boca Juniors host River Plate for matchday 15 of the Argentine Primera Division. Let’s get into the key match statistics and offer a prediction for this showdown between Xeneize and Los Millonarios.

Boca Juniors are down in 10th place with 21 points by way of five wins and six draws from 14 matches. Their rivals come into this derby with an identical record, but River’s superior goal differential has them sitting just above Boca in ninth place.

Boca Juniors - CA River Plate (ARG): Form Analysis
Boca Juniors come into this fixture off the back of a 2-1 away defeat to Racing Club last weekend. The loss snapped a previous nine-match unbeaten run for Boca Juniors in the Argentine top flight. However, five of those nine matches resulted in draws as the hosts have struggled with converting the full three points.
Where they have not struggled has been on their home pitch. Boca Juniors come into this Superclásico riding a 21-match home unbeaten run as they have turned La Bombonera into a fortress.
In those 21 games, Boca have walked away the victor on 16 occasions.
River Plate face a big challenge if they are to put an end to their rivals streak. They come into this match off the back of a 1-1 away draw with Colo-Colo in the Copa Libertadores quarter-final first leg.
The visitors welcomed Marcelo Gallardo back to the club in the beginning of August after a year and a half hiatus.
Gallardo has overseen eight matches in charge so far and River Plate are yet to lose under the 48-year-old. However, they have only managed three wins during that stretch with the other five ending in draws.
Away form has been worrying for River Plate who are yet to record a victory in their six Primera Division road matches.

Boca Juniors & CA River Plate (ARG) Squad Analysis
Boca Juniors manager Diego Martinez sees four of his players on the injury report ahead of this fixture. The most notable absence for the Blue and Gold is Edinson Cavani who is still recovering from a muscle injury which has kept him out for five matches.
Additionally, the hosts could be without experienced defender Gary Medel and they are still a few weeks away from getting back winger Brian Aguirre. Defender Lucas Blondel is still a few months away from a return after suffering a cruciate ligament tear.
River Plate walked away from their tough midweek clash against Colo-Colo with three injuries.
The result was Matias Kranevitter, Maximiliano Meza and Fabricio Bustos all suffering varying degrees of knocks. The decision for Gallardo now is whether or not he will risk the players with the return leg against Colo-Colo on the horizon.
In addition to those three concerns, Pity Martinez is still a long term injury and is about a month away from a return after an ACL injury. Finally, Rodrigo Aliendro is still suffering from a shoulder injury which has seen him miss four matches.

Our Boca Juniors vs CA River Plate (ARG) Prediction
Boca will be the better rested of the two sides after River Plate’s midweek away trip to Chile for the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals. They come into this derby boasting an extremely impressive run at home which could ultimately see them emerge victorious here.
The visitors' progress in the Copa Libertadores could wind up playing a significant role in this match. It’s fair to say that River Plate’s full focus will be shifted to that competition as they have a great chance at lifting the cup. As a result, their league performance could suffer. Our Boca Juniors vs River Plate prediction: Boca Juniors to win.
