River Plate vs San Lorenzo prediction and betting tips on December 5, 2024
Game Prediction
In the 24th round of the Argentine Primera División on December 5, 2024, River Plate will host San Lorenzo. The former champions aim to finish the season in the top five, seeking a home victory over a lower-table opponent.
Our Prediction for the Match: River Plate vs San Lorenzo
The Millonarios clinched the championship last year, their second in three years and their 38th overall. They also secured the Argentine Supercup and the Diego Maradona Trophy in 2023. El Ciclón performed well too, finishing third in that edition of the Primera.
This season, River Plate’s performance has been more modest. They topped their group in the Diego Maradona Trophy in the spring but exited in the playoffs. In the Primera, their best hope is a top-five finish. They compensated somewhat in the Copa Libertadores, reaching the semifinals before falling to Atlético Mineiro. Following this, River Plate went on a winning streak in the Primera but lost 1-2 to Independiente Rivadavia. However, they bounced back with a 2-1 victory over Estudiantes in their last match.
San Lorenzo, meanwhile, earned 16 points in 14 matches during the Diego Maradona Trophy, reflecting their inconsistency. They’ve shown similar form in the Primera, alternating between wins, draws, and losses. Most recently, they fell 0-2 to Belgrano. Like River Plate, San Lorenzo participated in the Copa Libertadores but exited in the Round of 16, also against Atlético Mineiro.
