River Plate and Platense are two Argentine football clubs with a history of competition, though not as intensely rivalrous as some other derbies. River Plate, one of Argentina's most successful and popular clubs, generally dominates the head-to-head record against Platense. Platense, historically a smaller club, has experienced periods of success and struggles, often fluctuating between Argentina's top divisions. Matches between the two, while not always considered high-stakes derbies, still carry importance for both sets of fans, with Platense supporters eager to upset the giants from Núñez.
