River Plate starts with a hard-fought victory away from home against Peruvian Universitario. Next is the second duel of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, this time against Barcelona Guayaquil.
The hosts remain favorites
The Argentine team will want to achieve another success to accumulate quick points at the beginning of the group stage and not tremble at the end. Barcelona managed to overcome Independiente del Valle, another team from Ecuador, in their first duel, which gives the team some confidence. On the other hand, it is difficult to play in Argentina, and River will want to delight their fans after some more hesitant performances lately.
Bet on River's victory
I do not venture to predict the number of goals in the match, although I lean towards a smaller number.
