⭐ Editor's Pick
Despite a poor start, River Plate are considered favorites for the upcoming match - after all, the visitors remain one of the strongest clubs on the continent and have a significantly stronger squad. However, Tigre will look to take advantage of their opponent's poor form, especially with the game being played at home, so the hosts will also be looking for their chances going forward. In 7 of the last 8 head-to-head meetings between the two sides, at least two goals were scored, so the most logical bet looks to be total over 1.5 goals. Predicted score - 1:1.
