It’s always a special footballing occasion when the winner of the world famous Copa Libertadores take on the winners of the Copa Sudamericana.
Atletico took a 1-0 lead in the first leg of this two-match final. A goal from on-loan striker Marco Ruben will see his side travel to Argentina with a slender advantage.
However, holding on to that lead may prove a lot harder than it may first seem. River Plate’s general form hasn’t been great but the story is different when looking at their performances in Buenos Aires.
Marcelo Gallardo’s men have won eight of their last 11 games at home while only losing once in that time. What’s more, In their last five home games, River Plate scored 18 goals and conceded just three.
To add to Atletico’s worries, they are without a win in eight straight away games – that includes six defeats and two draws.
Their last away victory came last March and it remains one of only two away wins the team has managed so far in 2019.
Bearing all this in mind, the recommendation is to back the home side. River Plate to win to nil is priced at 5/4 which must be said, is a reasonable offer.
