⭐ Editorial Prediction
River Plate are clear favourites heading into this clash, which comes as no surprise given their pedigree, squad depth, and home advantage. However, the hosts' recent form suggests we shouldn't expect a free-flowing attacking display. Independiente Rivadavia typically take a cautious approach on the road: six of their last seven away fixtures have featured no more than two goals. With that in mind, our pick is under 2.5 goals.
