The Right Prediction and Betting Tips for Belgrano vs River Plate
River Plate to Win
Our first prediction for the next Belgrano vs River Plate matchup, is that the away team will win. We make this prediction based on the performance of both teams on matchday 1.
Belgrano struggled to contain Racing’s attacks, and in addition to the big wall they put up, they were lucky that their opponents’ shots didn’t go in. River Plate proved to be a very tidy and synchronised team, so we expect them to win their second match.
Under 2.5 Goals
The home team is aware that they are a bit limited compared to the big teams in this tournament, so they used their defensive tactics against Racing and will probably do so against El Millonario. This will limit their opponents’ scoring chances and their own, which is why we expect the final score to be less than 2.5 goals.
BTTS – No
The home team had few chances to score in their first match, at a few moments of the match they showed any intention to generate big chances. If they repeat the same performance of the previous day, they are unlikely to overcome the opposition’s defence and put the ball in the net.
Belgrano vs River Plate Preview: El Millonario Wants More
Belgrano
The Pirate played their first game on their return to the Argentine top flight. Guillermo Farre’s first venture was against Racing, a team that has established itself in recent seasons.
The coach opted to use a very defensive strategy to prevent La Academia from scoring, as a result, Belgrano had few shots. Racing had chances to score but their finishing was not calibrated. The Pirate were lucky to keep a clean sheet.
River Plate
Martín Demichelis led El Millonario in their first league match, and it was all happiness for the Argentine coach. River Plate dominated the game from start to finish.
In the first half El Millonarios had 71% of possession and although they shot only twice on target, Nacho Fernandez scored a goal before the break. In the second half, the number of shots increased and the lead grew to 2-0 with Pablo Solari’s goal..
