River Plate came to the start of the Copa Libertadores group stage in excellent shape and is certainly the favorite of its group – the guests will undoubtedly try to justify this status today. It is always difficult to play in the highlands and the climatic conditions will certainly play into the hands of the hosts, but at the same time the class difference is too high and in their current state the millionaires are quite capable of taking all three points, although it is certainly not worth counting on an easy walk.

Bet on the total
River Plate is the favorite of the match, and of his group as a whole, and today he will be determined only to win – it will be very difficult for Universitario to win back to zero, as the hosts are significantly inferior to their opponent in the class. At the same time, the cream houses are traditionally very strong, they play attacking football, score regularly and score a lot – for sure today the Universitario will respond with one goal, in the last face-to-face meeting the millionaires' gates were opened, the tradition may well be continued.
The bet is that both will score. This bet is offered for 2.07
Betting on corners
River Plate is the favorite and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the visitors should win confidently from the corners.
