River Plate reached eight league matches unbeaten (and 14 in all competitions) after a scoreless draw at Colon last Monday.
River are sitting in 2nd on 39 points and still have a chance to clinch a Copa Sudamericana ticket. At home, Marcelo Gallardo’s men are on seven games without defeat (five of them in this competition).
Estudiantes succumbed to their second consecutive defeat in the Superliga on Sunday, when losing 2-1 at home to Racing Club. Coach Lucas Bernardi left the club after the game. El Pincha remain on 35 points and are running out of chances to qualify for the next Copa Sudamericana.
River seem unbeatable at the moment and should be too strong for this Estudiantes in crisis.
BET: River -1 @ 1.98
