Racing Club vs River Plate – Racing Club advanced to the top of Group B of the Copa Sudamericana by defeating direct opponents Melgar 1-0 at home last week.

It was the Argentine team’s fourth win in five group phase games, putting them three points clear at the top of the section ladder heading into the final day games.

Racing Club will need a point against River Plate on Thursday evening at home, where they have lost four of their five games this season.

River Plate have given up any hope of progressing from this group, and head coach Gustavo Diaz may rest several of his important players for Sunday’s domestic league match against Penarol.

River Plate will enter this match having lost four of their previous five games in all competitions. Interestingly, all of these defeats were by the same score of 1-2.

In the Liga Profesional semifinal, they were defeated by Boca Juniors, losing only on penalties following a goalless draw in regular time in Buenos Aires.

Racing Club vs River Plate – Betting Analysis

This year was the first time these two outfits had met. Racing Club defeated River Plate 0-1 in their first ever match on Uruguayan soil in early April.

Both teams will enter this match in entirely different mindsets. It’s also worth noting that the hosts will be fresher after missing the weekend’s action.

We can’t envisage anything other than a resounding victory for Racing Club at Avellaneda on Thursday night. At 1.83 odds, you can back the hosts to win to nil.
