⭐ Editorial Prediction
River Plate head into the final as favourites, but in matches of this magnitude, that edge is rarely decisive. With silverware on the line, both sides typically prioritise defensive solidity and mistake-free football over attacking flair. Belgrano are also likely to adopt a cautious, compact approach-especially considering their recent low-scoring form: 6 of their last 7 league games have featured no more than two goals. In this context, backing under 2.5 goals appears to be a well-founded prediction.
