River Plate travels to face Barcelona SC in a compelling Copa Libertadores group stage encounter. Barcelona enters this match on the back of a mixed run, securing a 2-1 home victory against Vinotinto in their domestic league but suffering a 1-0 defeat at home to Universitario de Deportes in their previous Copa Libertadores fixture. Their recent head-to-head against River Plate ended in a goalless draw in Argentina four weeks prior.

Conversely, River Plate arrives in strong form, having recorded an impressive 4-1 home win against Vélez Sarsfield in the Argentine Primera División. Their Copa Libertadores journey saw them draw 2-2 away against Independiente del Valle. Statistically, River boasts an impressive record, remaining unbeaten in their last 11 matches and maintaining nine clean sheets in their 16 league games. They have also demonstrated their attacking prowess on the road, scoring two or more goals in half of their last ten away fixtures.

Considering River Plate's superior form and solid defensive record, the odds of 1.91 for an away win appear to offer significant value. Our prediction leans towards a River Plate victory, potentially with a comfortable margin. For those seeking higher odds, a River Plate win by two or more goals at a -0.5 handicap presents an attractive option.
