Marcelo Gallardo's team took a serious step towards the playoffs in the last round, managing to beat Barcelona 3-2 away in a very difficult match - the unbeaten streak in the group lasted up to four matches.

Tip and bets

1.61handicap (-1) on the River Plate

River Plate today has an excellent opportunity to get a ticket to the playoffs and turn the last round into a formality - millionaires will certainly try to take advantage of this chance. In general, the task for the hosts is not the most difficult - Independiente del Valle is inferior in class, has not won the current Copa Libertadores, and is generally unstable. River Plate is able to justify the status of the favorite, get a landslide victory and step into the playoffs, it makes sense to give preference to the hosts, today they are objectively stronger.

We believe that the guests have no chance. The betting tip is the Asian handicap (-1) on the River Plate. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.61

2.45Both will score

Bet on the total

River Plate, without any doubt, will strive only for victory today and will certainly put serious pressure on the opponent's goal in the first half. Independiente del Valle is not particularly reliable in defense and is unlikely to be able to win back on the Monumental. At the same time, the position in the group obliges the black and blue to take risks, the Ecuadorians play openly and effectively, they are quite capable of responding with one ball, they managed to score twice in the first round against the millionaires.

The bet is that both will score. This bet is offered for 2.45

Betting on corners

River Plate is the favorite and will probably spend most of the match at the opponent's goal – a confident victory for the hosts on the corners will be a reliable choice.

The bet is an Asian handicap (-3) on corners on the River Plate. This bet is offered for 1.65
