Command Analysis

River Plate

River Plate easily confirmed the status of the main favorite in Group B. The Millionaires have not suffered a single defeat in five rounds, scored 11 points, and occupy the first place with a four-point lead over the nearest pursuer, which is today's opponent. The final game today, therefore, has no tournament significance for the hosts. In the last two rounds, River Plate delighted fans of attacking football, first beating Barcelona Guayaquil with a score of 3:2, and then completely defeated Independiente del Valle (6:2).

Universitario de Deportes

Universitario is in the second position in the group by the final round, having scored seven points. The Peruvians are two points ahead of their closest pursuer, but at the same time they have a solid advantage in terms of the difference between goals scored and conceded and will be higher in case of a tie. Characteristically, the team improved significantly during the tournament, scoring all seven points in the last three rounds. In the previous game, Universitario defeated Barcelona Guayaquil at home with a minimum score of 1-0.

7.90Tip and bets
Despite the fact that River Plate has no tournament motivation, bookmakers lead millionaires as the obvious favorite. Undoubtedly, the hosts have a significant advantage in class, but at the same time, there is a very busy schedule of matches and not the most pleasant background after the defeat in the Apertura playoffs in a penalty shootout from Platense. We believe that extremely motivated guests can count on at least a draw today.
Our betting tip is that Universitario will win with an Asian handicap (+1.5) for a coefficient of 1.70
