River Plate set to win massive Copa Libertadores final
On Sunday night, Buenos Aires rivals River Plate and Boca Juniors face off in a massive derby match in the Copa Libertadores final in Madrid.
The City rivals have already played out an entertaining draw in the first leg of the competition. It is now all to play for in the Spanish capital in the second leg for the two arch-rivals.
River heads into this massive clash on the back of some mixed results in the Copa Libertadores. However, they have been difficult to beat in the competition, having lost just one of their last 13 matches in the Copa.
Their recent games in the Copa Libertadores have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last six matches. They have also scored at least two goals in three of their last four games in this competition.
Boca Juniors are unbeaten in five games in all competitions going into the final. They are also nine games unbeaten in the Copa Libertadores, although three of their last four games in the competition have finished all square.
Boca’s main strength in the Copa Libertadores of late has been in attack, as they have scored at least two goals in seven of their last eight matches in the competition.
These two teams have had very little between them in recent years, as they have battled to be the top dog in the Argentinian capital. The head-to-head record between the two on the last 39 games in all competitions illustrates that, as River have claimed 12 wins, 14 games have finished in draws and Boca Juniors have recorded 13 wins. The record could hardly be any closer.
Forebet predicts that River Plate will record a victory in a high scoring game to claim the glory in what is a massive game for the city of Buenos Aires.
