Team Reviews
CA Platense
CA Platense, nicknamed El Calamar and coached by Cristian “Kily” González, is 10th in the Argentine Primera División with 26 points from 18 matches (7 wins, 5 draws, 6 losses), per FcTables.com. They advanced to the Copa Argentina Round of 16 with a 2-0 win over Argentino de Quilmes on April 16, 2025, with goals from Ronaldo Martínez and Augusto Lotti. Their form shows 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last five competitive matches, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 0.6 goals conceded per game. Key players include Martínez (4 goals in 2024), Lotti, and goalkeeper Juan Pablo Cozzani (6 clean sheets). Platense’s strengths are their defensive solidity (0.9 goals conceded per game) and recent Apertura title win, defeating giants like Racing Club and Huracán, per www.mightytips.com. However, injuries to Vicente Taborda (soleus trauma), Jonathan Bay (ACL), Gonzalo Goni, Maximiliano Rodríguez, and Tobias Cervera, plus Lotti’s doubtful status (minor injury), are concerns, per www.365scores.com. As 2024 Apertura champions, they aim for a first Copa Argentina title since 1994.
Independiente Rivadavia
Independiente Rivadavia, known as La Lepra and coached by Alfredo Berti, is 13th in the Primera División with 24 points from 18 matches (7 wins, 3 draws, 8 losses). They reached the Round of 16 with a 1-0 win over CA Estudiantes on April 16, 2025, via an Alejo Osella goal, per www.mightytips.com. Their form includes 4 wins and 1 loss in their last five, averaging 1.4 goals scored and 0.8 goals conceded. Key players include Sebastián Villa (2 goals in 2024), Osella, and Ezequiel Centurión (5 clean sheets). Their strengths are their away form (1 loss in last 5 away games) and attacking intent (1.4 goals per game), but they struggle against top-tier sides, losing 2-0 to Platense in August 2024, per www.tycsports.com. No major injuries are reported, per www.aiscore.com. They seek to upset Platense and reach the quarter-finals for the fourth time in five editions.
Head-to-Head
Platense and Independiente Rivadavia have met 9 times since 2007, with Independiente Rivadavia leading 4-3-2, scoring 14 goals (1.6 per game) to Platense’s 9 (1.0 per game), per www.aiscore.com. Platense won their latest clash 2-0 on August 23, 2024, in the Primera División at Estadio Bautista Gargantini, with goals from Mateo Pellegrino and Ronaldo Martínez. The last five H2H matches show 3 under 2.5 goals and 33% both teams scoring (BTTS). Platense’s home games against Independiente Rivadavia average 2.67 goals, with no draws in their last 3 meetings, per www.footystats.org. Platense’s recent win and Apertura form give them momentum, but Independiente Rivadavia’s historical edge keeps it competitive.
Prediction: CA Platense 1-0 Independiente Rivadavia
Platense is likely to score through Martínez or Lotti (if fit), with Cozzani securing a clean sheet. Platense’s defensive strength and recent H2H dominance should edge out Independiente Rivadavia’s attack, advancing them to the quarter-finals, though Villa’s pace could test them in a tight contest.
