Colon Santa Fe take on the visitors River Plate in the round 3 match of Argentinian Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Thursday, June 16th at Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López (Santa Fe).
Colon were able to win the Copa Diego Maradona last year. It was actually the first "big" trophy in the history of Colon. True, they were able to score 10 points in the Copa Libertadores and made it to the playoffs, winning their group. But at the same time, the Red-Blacks could show little in the domestic arena. In the new edition of Copa Diego Maradona, the 2021 triumphant could only take 3 wins and 16 points in 14 matches - of course, this was not enough to reach the playoffs. In the Liga Profesional, the team lost a victory in the 1st round on the field of Atlético Tucuman. The goal was conceded only in the 83rd minute. And then there was a derby with Union, which ended in a spectacular 2-2 draw. Moreover, 3 goals were scored in the last half hour, including in the 92nd minute.

River Plate were finally able to regain its leading position last season. It was their 1st title since 2014. For such a giant, it was a huge waiting period for a new trophy. Even during this time, the country's cup, and even the Copa Libertadores, have been won more than once. In Copa Diego Maradona they were looking confident in the group round, but then the “millionaires” flew out in the 1st round of the playoffs, against Tigre. But in Copa Libertadores, the Argentines were able to take 16 out of 18 possible points. Also, they won 8-1 "Alliance" from Lima. But at the same time, in the new championship, the grand began rather weakly. In the 1st round of the Liga Profesional, they took only a goalless draw with Defensa and Justicia. This result was repeated with Atlético Tucuman. Demanding fans and ambitious management were obviously not expecting such a start from the grandee.
River Plate is generally successful in head-to-heads against Colón. Including 3 wins in the last 4 matches. Bookmakers believe that it's time for the grandee from Buenos Aires to win. His opponent is not a top one - we dare to believe in the success of River Plate even on the road
Prediction for the match: River Plate to win.
