Their defensive solidity is notable, having conceded only 6 goals in that run and keeping clean sheets in 40% of those games.

Their attacking output has heavily relied on midfielders like Lucas Zelarayán, as their forwards have struggled for goals. Defenders Leonardo Morales and Alexis Maldonado will be crucial in containing River's offense, which trended at 1.65 xG created per game on a recent-form basis, well above Belgrano's 1.13 xG created.

The weather conditions for the final are largely benign. A partly sunny sky with a comfortable 17°C temperature presents no issues. Wind speeds are moderate at 14 km/h, though gusts reaching 27 km/h could occasionally affect long passes and set pieces, but not enough to drastically alter game flow or betting markets for goals or corners in a top-tier league. Rain probability is minimal at 5%, so a dry pitch is expected.
