Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
River Plate
River Plate's last five league results are W, D, W, W, W, highlighted by a 3‑2 away victory over Banfield and a 2‑1 away win at Atletico Tucuman. Those wins show they can score multiple goals and hold on defensively, reinforcing the model's high win probability for this fixture.
Huracan
Huracan's recent five results read W, L, D, D, D, including a 2‑0 away win over San Lorenzo but followed by a 0‑2 loss at Sarmiento and three consecutive draws (0‑0, 1‑1, 1‑1). Their inability to secure wins beyond the lone victory signals limited threat, supporting a lower chance of them overturning River's advantage.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings River have won twice (2026-03-13 2‑1 and 2023-04-09 3‑0) and lost twice, with one draw, indicating a slight historical edge that aligns with the model's win rating.
