River Plate hosts Boca Juniors in round 7 of the Argentinean Copa de La Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Monday, March 21st at Estadio Antonio Vespucio Liberti (Buenos Aires)
River Plate managed to become the champion of the country in 2021. The previous similar success dates back to 2014. Of course, such a long wait wounded the vanity of the Millionaires, even though they won a lot of trophies during this period, including Copa Libertadores. Now the main task for Marcelo Gallardo and his players is to stay at this high level. The start of the new season was quite good. In the first round, the Stripes managed to lose to Union Santa Fe, but then they earned 13 points in five matches and advanced to the next stage of the national cup.

While the rival was in decline, Boca Juniors managed to become the champion of Argentina in 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2020. But the last draw turned out to be extremely unsuccessful for the Genoese, and they didn’t manage to get even into the top four. Moreover, they weren’t in the lead in any period of the season! However, young Sebastian Battaglia, who came to the post of head coach, was given one more chance. So far, it cannot be said that he uses it with dignity. Boca Juniors often allow misfires again. The cup draw started only with a home draw against Colón, and in the next five rounds, the Genoese tied against Independiente (2-2) and lost to Huracan (0-1). Now they are in fourth place in their group, lagging only two points behind leading Estudiantes.
Curiously, four Superclasicos in 2021 ended in a draw in regulation time, and then Boca Juniors reached success. And only in October, did River Plate finally gain victory. Then Rojo picked up two yellow cards in the first quarter of an hour, and Alvarez's brace brought the Millionaires a 2-1 victory. River Plate started this season better and will play home. Therefore, we decided to bet on the victory of the hosts.
Prediction for the match: River Plate to win
