River Plate have played only two matches in 2017 and both ended poorly for the team. Today’s visitors lost the match of Supercup to Lanus, 0-3, and followed it with a league draw against Union Santa Fe. The teams not just failed to win this year, they couldn’t score a single goal so far. We should also note that River Plate have poor away record in 2017.
The opponents haven’t faced one another before. The hosts have no competitors in domestic league and they should prove their high level in clash with Argentine side, who only start their season. Colombian side, who hasn’t lost a single home match should prevail in this clash as well.
Prediction for the match: Medellin to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
