Command Analysis
Barcelona SC
EcuadorCurrent form
Barcelona turned out to be far from the most difficult group and certainly expects to compete for a place in the playoffs, the selection of players allows them to compete for the second place. Segundo Castillo's team started with a 1-0 victory over Independiente del Valle, who is the main competitor in the fight for the second place, and then sensationally took points away from River Plate (0-0). Against the background of such powerful two matches, the 0:1 defeat by Universitario looks like a big sensation, but at the same time, the canaries are still third in the table and only lag behind the second place in additional indicators.

River Plate was relatively lucky with the draw, and Marcelo Gallardo's team was initially considered the undisputed favorite in their group.

1.95Tip and bets
The defeat by Universitario in the last round no longer leaves Barcelona the right to make mistakes at home – in such a fierce competition, when all three opponents have a chance of making the playoffs, it is unacceptable to stumble at home. Obviously, the Canaries will be aggressive in attack, they score regularly at home, River Plate is unlikely to have the opportunity to stay dry today. At the same time, the millionaires are also deprived of the right to fail after two matches without a win, the guests will obviously come for all three points – an exchange of goals in such a duel is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered with odds of 1.99
Betting on the outcome
River Plate has lost points in recent matches and today there is a risk of losing not only the first place, but also falling out of the playoff zone. Obviously, the millionaires will be set up for all three points and will play to win. Barcelona, especially on its own field, is certainly not an easy opponent and the guests will definitely not get an easy walk, but at the same time River Plate has a serious advantage in experience and class, it is quite possible for the guests to snatch three points in an equal fight, it makes sense to take a chance and give them preference.
The bet is a River Plate victory. This bet is offered for 1.95
Betting on corners
Barcelona will obviously strive to win at home and play actively in attack, but River Plate is also set up for three points and is able to respond – there should be plenty of corners.
The bet is a total of more than 8.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.69
