River Plate vs The Strongest Preview

Copa Libertadores, Wednesday, June 28th, 01:00 (UK)

River Plate have coped well with Marcelo Gallardo’s departure in the summer. Their former coach will go down in history as one of their greatest managers of all time. He led River to two Copa Libertadores triumphs during his tenure. Things have changed and the team now have to improve in this competition to emulate those successes this season.

Former Manchester City defender, Martin Demichelis, is the man in charge at River Plate. They have a healthy ten-point lead at the top of the Argentinian league. However, they have picked up just seven points from their five matches in the Copa Libertadores, thus running the risk of elimination in the group stages.

They are taking on The Strongest on Tuesday night. The visitors are huge underdogs but they are just two points behind River Plate coming into the final match of the group. Like River, The Strongest are also top of their domestic league. Ricardo Formosinho’s men have a one-point lead after 16 matches.

The odds are against the away side in this one. Nonetheless, the team will take encouragement from their 3-1 win over River earlier in the group. They need to take all three points again to have any hope of qualifying.

The reverse fixture between these sides was a hugely entertaining affair. There were four goals, 46 shots and 17 corners as The Strongest secured a memorable 3-1 victory. The stakes are far higher heading into this game so we should see a similarly attacking affair.

We have used the Bet Builder section on bet365 to construct our bet for this match. They give us a wealth of options in terms of markets and we are free to combine them as we please. That flexibility is vital and there are plenty of options for markets.

If we had backed River Plate on the 1×2 market here we would have had the added benefit of bet365’s Early Payout offer. This means that the leg is settled as a winner should the team you have backed take a two goal lead. However, we’re being a little bolder here.

Our first betting angle is River Plate to win by two goals or more. Demichelis’ side have won their last 11 matches on home turf and have only been beaten there once this season. During this 11-match run, they are averaging 2.27 goals and conceding just 0.36 goals per game.

The Strongest are a whopping 23.00 to win the match. They have lost their last four away matches in all competitions and conceded six in their last match and Nacional Potosi. Although it was in 2016, The Strongest’s last visit to this stadium ended in a 6-0 defeat.

Our next betting angle looks at River Plate corners. The Argentinian side should dominate proceedings and they are capable of winning a wealth of corners. Across their 13 home matches in all competitions this season, they are averaging 6.67 corners per game.

The Strongest opponent’s corner numbers are even more encouraging. Their two away matches in the Copa Libertadores have seen their opponents have 9 and 10 corners.

River Plate had nine corners when the teams squared off in Bolivia earlier in the group. They are capable of getting even more with the backing of a home crowd that will be keen to see them out on a show.
