Betting on River Plate
River Plate is currently sitting at the top of the Argentine League with 18 points, two more than their closest rival, San Lorenzo. They’ve won six games and lost two so far this season, scoring 14 goals while only conceding five.
Their latest victory was a 2-0 win against Sarmiento de Junín as visitors, with goals from Lucas Beltrán and Agustín Palavecino. Unlike some of their past wins, which were marred by controversial referee decisions in their favor, this victory had River playing at a high level. They registered 70% possession of the ball, attempted 25 shots on goal (eight of which were on target), committed only eight fouls, and won seven corners while conceding nine.
Probable lineup (4-5-1): Franco Armani; Milton Casco, Leandro González Pirez, Paulo Díaz, Enzo Díaz; Rodrigo Aliendro, Enzo Pérez, Ignacio Fernández; José Paradela, Esequiel Barco or Agustín Palavecino or Nicolás De la Cruz, Lucas Beltrán.
Betting on Union
It’s been a rough season for Unión. They’re currently stuck in 26th place with just seven points, barely edging out their arch-rivals Colón de Santa Fe, who are last in the league.
The Tatengue have only managed to win one game, draw four, and lose three so far this season. In addition, they’ve scored six goals while conceding nine, three of which came in their latest match against Racing, where they lost 3-1 at home. That night, they only registered 33% possession of the ball, attempted eight shots on goal (five of which were on target), committed 13 fouls, and gave Racing five corners (while only earning one for themselves). It’s a tough situation for Unión, but anything can happen in soccer, so let’s see if they can turn things around.
Probable lineup (4-4-1-1): Santiago Mele; Federico Vera, Oscar Piris, Claudio Corvalán and Lucas Esquivel; Imanol Machuca, Yeison Gordillo, Luciano Aued and Daniel Juárez, Martín Cañete and Kevin Zenón.
JefeBet Prediction
River Plate and Unión have faced off against each other 69 times, with River coming out on top 30 times and the Tatengue winning 15.
There’s a significant difference between the two teams in the league standings, and we at JefeBet believe that this gap will be reflected on the field as well. River Plate is expected to win comfortably and continue their journey as the absolute leader. River Plate will win comfortably, and will continue on its way after this battle with its head held high and without fissures.
Prediction: River Plate wins 3-0.
