Betting on River Plate
Atlético River Plate of Uruguay is having a decent start in the domestic tournament, and it currently occupies the fifth place after 5 matchdays played. They come into this match after a goalless draw against Boston River over the weekend, being this one, the second match in the last 3 played that they have failed to get on the scoreboard.
They will try to take advantage of their home condition to defeat a tough opponent, especially taking advantage of the confidence boost that comes from having won the two games played at home this season. In fact, they have won four games in the Domingo Burgueño Miguel.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Fabrizio Nicolas Correa Gonzalez; Ricardo Chopitea, Gonzalo Viera, Horacio Salaberry, Martin Marta; Ezequiel Busquets, Matias Alfonso, Cristian Barros, Pablo Nicolas Lopez De Leon; Roberto Lavega, Jonathan David Dos Santos Dure.
Betting on Penarol
Peñarol had a better preliminary match for this first phase, beating Maldonado 2-1 to arrive in the best way to the other team’s field, and that keeps them at the top of the Uruguayan domestic tournament after a dream start in which has not lost any matches so far.
One of the reasons why the visiting team has been so successful in the beginning of the campaign has been the great performance in the attacking front, scoring 11 goals in 5 dates.
On the other hand, the away records are really encouraging, with no losses in 4 of the 5 most recent matches they have played.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Thiago Cardozo; Matias Aguirregaray, Nahuel Herrera, Pablo Lopez, Juan Ramos; Rodrigo Agustin Saravia Salvia, Damian Garcia; Carlos Sanchez, Kevin Mendez, Nicolás Rossi; Abel Hernández.
JefeBet Prediction
Uruguay’s top league champion, Penarol, is the overwhelming favorite to advance to the group stage despite playing away. Although they have drawn in their 3 most recent matches against River Plate, they have not lost in their last 5 encounters with them.
In addition, the start of the campaign has been really encouraging in the domestic league, with good results and a great offensive performance. With all this in mind, the visitors are expected to get the win in Tuesday’s game.
Prediction: Moneyline for Peñarol (RIV 1-2 PEN).
