Talleres Cordoba — River Plate : Match Preview and Prediction for October 19,2025

Talleres Cordoba: Defensive Resilience

Carlos Tevez’s squad is currently battling to avoid relegation, yet they boast an impressive five-match unbeaten streak. This seemingly paradoxical situation is easily explained: Talleres prioritizes a strong defensive approach. Their disciplined, defensive style of play is highly effective, especially when they are at home, as noted by Argentine sports media.

Home Ground Fortress

The statistics unequivocally support this strategy. Talleres leads the league for the fewest goals scored at home over the last five rounds, managing to net only one goal. Simultaneously, they also hold the top spot for the fewest goals conceded on their home turf during the same period, allowing just a single goal.

Offensive Struggles and Recent Trends

Overall this season, the team averages a mere 0.58 goals per game, highlighting their significant challenges in attack. The trend is stark: in Talleres’ last five home fixtures, either only one team scored, or the match ended in a goalless draw.

River Plate: Deep Crisis

The ‘Millionaires’ are currently enduring a profound crisis. Marcelo Gallardo’s side has suffered four consecutive defeats in the Clausura and lost six of their last seven matches across all competitions. River Plate is struggling to find any coherent combination play and faces significant difficulties in creating dangerous scoring opportunities.

Blunt Attack

Their attack appears utterly toothless. Forward Miguel Borja is being completely nullified by opponents. The 0-1 home defeat against Sarmiento served as a stark demonstration of River’s offensive impotence.

Squad Issues and Away Form

Compounding their on-field issues are significant personnel problems. Injured key players Enzo Pérez and Marcos Acuña will be unavailable for the upcoming match. Such losses to vital players disrupt team cohesion and offer fewer attacking options for the squad. Their away game statistics are equally unforgiving: in 9 of their last 13 away matches, only one team managed to score, or the game concluded with a 0-0 draw.
