River Plate suffered a heavy defeat a week ago as a guest at Atletico Mineiro, so now they will want to at least offer some resistance on their own turf to try to erase the huge deficit. The rematch will be in Argentina.
3-goal difference
The collapse of River was probably quite unpleasant to watch for the team's fans, who hoped that a very weak season could be saved by reaching the Copa Libertadores final. Now the chances for that are only within the realm of the chimerical. However, it is not impossible for the team to win tonight, if only to show some teeth to their supporters. Atletico Mineiro lost days ago in the championship against Internacional, but they are heading towards a second final, so it is unlikely that this has made an impression on their fans.

Atletico Mineiro are very close to eliminating the last Argentine representative in the Copa Libertadores, setting up an all-Brazilian final with Botafogo. A week ago, Atletico Mineiro achieved an impressive 3-0 home victory, which largely decides the ultimate winner.
Weak passiveHowever, River Plate's hopes will be linked to their home game, as in the first match, the performance of both teams may not have corresponded to such a convincing victory for Atletico Mineiro. Certainly, at home, River Plate performs better and it is very rare to see them lose at home, regardless of the opponent. Atletico Mineiro, on the other hand, have not won in their last five visits.
Bet on a River Plate victoryI think River Plate's strength will not be enough for them to advance, but they could still secure a victory.
