Patronato take on the visitors River Plate in the quarterfinals of Copa Argentina. The match will be played on Thursday, September 29th at Estadio Carlos Augusto Mercado Luna (La Rioja).
Patronato was finally able to improve. The “Santo” took only 23rd place in the Liga last year - a resounding failure, even taking into account the not particularly high status of this team, which relatively recently returned to the elite division of Argentina after a pause that dragged on as much as 37 years. Moreover, in the spring in Copa Diego Maradona it was not better: only 10 points, and the worst statistics among all participants. Of course, under such "starting conditions" it was relatively easy to add. And progress can be seen not so much in the championship, where we still managed to climb to the top of the standings. The main thing is that they managed to get into the quarterfinals of the cup already.

River Plate are almost out of a chances to retain the league title. Millonarios finally took their 36th title last year - the previous one dates back to 2014. Of course, they wanted to maintain this status, but this season is frankly not the best for Marcelo Gallardo and his wards. The Copa Diego Maradona ended already in the 1st round of the playoffs, with a 1-2 loss to Tigre at home. In the Cope Libertadores, the grand stumbled over Velez Sarsfield already in the 1/8 finals. There are few chances to save the situation in the Liga, where the favorite is even more unstable than the competitors. There are still mathematical chances, but not with the results that River Plate players show. As a result, the cup actually turns into the only tournament where "millionaires" can save their reputation. By the way, there the opponents were taken out confidently: 3-0 from Barracas Central, 4-0 from Defensa y Justicia.
Patronato had an unexpectedly successful stretch in head-to-heads, with 4 wins in 5 fights. But since 2019, it has turned out to put everything in its place for the grandee, having won three times already. Patronato are not bad, but still River Plate is just backed up against the wall. We recommend betting that visitors can win with a handicap of "-1 goal".
Prediction for the match: River Plate to win with -1.0 handicap.
