The Value Lies With River

Rather than back River Plate on the 1x2 market, our betting prediction is to back them off a -1.5 goal handicap. We’re taking the 2.03 that they beat Independiente del Valle by two goals or more.

Match Preview & H2H

River Plate beat Barracas Central 3-0 at home in their previous game. Los Millonarios boasted 73% possession and had three shots on target in the Argentine Primera División contest, with Paulo Diaz, Ignacio Fernandez and Marcos Acuna finding the net.

Independiente del Valle played Tecnico Universitario away in their last match. The scoreline was a 2-1 win in this Ecuadorian LigaPro encounter, with Emerson Pata and Claudio Spinelli on the scoresheet at Estadio Bellavista.

In the teams most recent Copa Libertadores encounters, River won 3-2 when visiting Ecuadorian LigaPro side Barcelona, while IDV drew 1-1 away with Peruvian Liga 1 outfit Universitario de Deportes.

The outcome was a 2-2 draw when River last played IDV, with the former being away from home. This was a Copa Libertadores clash at Estadio Independiente del Valle three weeks ago.
