River Plate take on the visitors Colo Colo in the round 5 match of Copa Libertadores group stage. The match will be played on Friday, May 20th at Estadio Antonio Vespucio Liberti (Buenos Aires).
River Plate is #1 in Argentina again and intends to keep that status. The Millionaires finally regained the league title - before the "gold" of 2021, there was a triumph only in 2014 - a very long stretch, by the standards of such a giant, its demanding fans and ambitious management. Now the club is also among the leaders, and will clearly take part in the playoffs of the Diego Maradona Cup. It is curious that, without achievements in the domestic arena, the Argentines were successful in the Cope Libertadores - they managed to win there both in 2015 and 2018. Yes, and now River Plate successfully started. In the first 4 matches, 10 points were taken, and at first the team from Buenos Aires won three times, and only then stumbled - only a draw with Fortaleza.

Colo-Colo is trying to regain the status of the main power in Chile. "Leaders" were able to win 32 league titles of their country. But the last time the “gold” was taken back in 2017. Against the background of recent years, the previous draw was quite worthy: 2nd place in the Primera and taking the country's cup. Now the wards of Gustavo Quinteros are trying to climb even higher in the domestic arena, and they have some success in this fight with Newblense and Union Espanyol. The visiotrs have solid start in the current draw of the Copa Libertadores. There, the Chileans were able to start with a couple of victories, but it looks like they were achieved with the group's underdogs, Fortaleza and Alliance (Lima). Then there was the defeat of the Argentines at home and a draw in Peru.
So far, River Plate has 100% head-to-head statistics. Before the victory in April, there was a confrontation a decade and a half ago, in 2007. Then the Argentines also won by 1 goal, 1-0 and 2-1. River Plate is considered the favorite. But this is a meeting of leaders, where both sides are quite satisfied with a draw.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
