⭐ Editor's Pick
The bookmakers have River Plate as favourites here, and the squad quality backs that up. Gimnasia y Esgrima will make things difficult, no question - but the head-to-head record points to something specific: in 8 of the last 9 meetings played at Gimnasia's ground, the hosts have conceded in the second half. Even if River can't break through before the break, their chances of scoring after it remain high. That makes a River Plate goal in the second half a reasonable bet. We expect to see 0-2 on the scoreboard.
