Player to watch: Miguel Borja
Miguel Borja deserves to be singled out in our professional River Plate vs Banfield prediction, as he is the home side’s top finisher this season. He managed to find the net on eight occasions, thus proving he is among the top finishers in the league.
Borja wants more from himself
The 31-year-old striker couldn’t score in the last three games for his club. His last goal came on the 19th of October when he bagged a 49th-minute penalty for his club. Surely, he will be among the starters for his club this week at Monumental.
