Match preview

Independiente Rivadavia arrive in outstanding shape, currently unbeaten in their last 10 matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing ended in a 1-1 draw away to Aldosivi in the Argentine Apertura, where they continue to lead Group B.

In the Copa Libertadores, they have been one of the standout performers so far, winning all three group-stage matches. Their campaign includes a 4-1 win over La Guaira and impressive away victories against both Bolívar and Fluminense. With nine points from three games and a goal difference of 7-2, they are firmly in control of Group C.

Their home record further strengthens their case, as they are on a five-match winning streak in all competitions. Even more impressively, they have scored at least three goals in each of their last three home games, underlining their attacking consistency.

Their matches also tend to be open and entertaining, with both teams scoring in five of their last six fixtures, reflecting an aggressive and forward-thinking approach.

Fluminense, by contrast, enter this match in poor form, coming off back-to-back defeats. They lost 2-0 to Internacional in the Brazilian league and previously suffered a 2-0 loss against Bolívar in the Libertadores.

It has been a difficult group stage for the Brazilian side, who have collected just one point from three matches so far. With only a draw against La Guaira to their name, they sit bottom of Group C, having scored once and conceded four goals.

Their overall away form has also been inconsistent, with just one win in their last seven matches across all competitions.

Despite their struggles, Fluminense remain a highly experienced continental side and the 2023 Copa Libertadores champions, which means they cannot be ruled out completely.

This will also be only the second meeting between the two teams, making the matchup relatively unfamiliar.
