Match announcement
River Plate
ArgentinaCurrent form
River Plate found themselves in a far from the most difficult group of the Copa Libertadores, where they were initially considered the clear favorites. The millionaires easily justified this status, winning five out of six matches and winning a quartet against Nacional from Montevideo, Libertad and Deportivo Tachira. In the first match against Talleres, Marcelo Gallardo's team won 1:0 and strengthened their status as favorites of the pair.
Disqualifications and injuries
Miguel Borja, Facundo Colido and Pitti Martinez are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- River Plate have not lost in their last five matches, with two wins and three draws.
- River Plate have not lost to Talleres in their last three matches, winning two and drawing one.
Probable line-up : Armani - Bustos, Pesselia, Diaz, Diaz - Simon, Krenevitter, Allendo - Mustantuono, Barreiro, Echeverri.
Talleres
ArgentinaCurrent form
Talleres, unlike their opponents today, were not the clear favorites in their group, but they easily secured a spot in the playoffs. The Albiasul finished second in the group, losing first place to Sao Paulo, but ahead of Barcelona from Guayaquil by seven points. The 0:1 defeat to River Plate does not yet put an end to the chances of Walter Rabionetto's team, but it has complicated the situation as much as possible.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ruben Botta, Marcos Portillo and Alejandro Martinez are injured. Lucas Suarez is suspended.
Interesting trends for betting
- Talleres have only won one of their last seven matches
- Talleres have not won any of their last three away matches – two draws and a defeat
Estimated line-up : Herrera - Portillo, Catalan, Rodriguez, Benavides - Moyano, Portillo, Galarza, Barticciotto, Martinez - Girotti.

2.75Tip and bets
River Plate, with the return of Marcelo Gallardo, has become more stable and beat Talleres in the first match. The millionaires will certainly not hold on to their minimal advantage at home, but will try to increase it, especially since their opponent is in crisis. In their current state, Talleres is unlikely to be capable of desperate resistance.
We think that the visitors have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on River Plate . This bet is offered with odds of 2.05
Bet on total
River Plate will clearly be set on winning at home and will put serious pressure on the opponent's not-so-stable defense in the first half. It is obvious that Albiasul will hardly be able to keep a clean sheet at Monumental, but at the same time they will take much more risks today than in the first match - the visitors are quite capable of scoring their own goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered with odds of 2.25
Bet on corners
River Plate are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners at River Plate. This bet is offered at 1.85
