BUENOS AIRES (Interstat) — A stark contrast in form will be on display Monday when a surging Racing Club hosts a struggling River Plate in a Primera Nacional fixture at El Cilindro.

River Plate (2-8-4) enters the marquee matchup mired in a profound scoring drought, having failed to find the net in its last three contests. Its most recent result was a 0-0 draw with Velez Sarsfield on Nov. 16, preceded by losses to Boca Juniors and Gimnasia. The team has managed just one victory in its last nine league outings.

In stark contrast, Racing Club (9-4-1) is riding a wave of momentum. The home side is unbeaten in its last 10 matches and arrives on the heels of a 1-0 road victory over Newell’s Old Boys. Manager Sebastian Grazzini’s squad has built its success on a formidable defense, conceding only one goal during its current five-match unbeaten streak.

Despite the recent trajectories, the Interstat game simulator projects a high-scoring affair, forecasting a 4-1 victory for the visiting River Plate. For that prediction to hold, River’s attack must break a 310-minute scoreless streak against one of the league’s most in-form defensive units.

Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. local time on Nov. 24.
