River Plate take on the visitors Colon Santa Fe in the round 23 match of Argentine Liga Professional. The match will be played on Thursday, June 6th at Estadio Monumental (Buenos Aires).
River Plate failed to retain the title last year. The "Millonarios" had a long wait for a domestic league championship despite winning the Copa Libertadores. However, in 2021, their seven-year wait finally ended, and they claimed the title in the Primera Division. But in the previous cycle, they finished in third place. It was after that when Demichelis took over as the coach. It was a risky move to appoint Martin, an experienced player but a novice coach, but so far, it has been successful. They faced some difficulties in the Copa Libertadores, but they won both of their recent matches. In the national championship, they confidently took the lead. However, their 1-2 defeat to Barracas Central was unexpected.

Colón are striving to actively earn points. "Los Sabaleros" finally won their first trophy in history in the previous year, the Diego Maradona Cup in 2021. Prior to that, they had a recent defeat in the Copa Sudamericana final and a runner-up finish in 1997. However, their performance in the previous Primera Division was quite disappointing, resulting in a 25th-place finish in the Argentine championship table. They needed to improve, and some steps were taken in that direction. After a poor start with three consecutive losses, the team stopped losing but had too many draws. However, everything fell apart against Racing, as they suffered a 0-4 defeat.
Previous matches between the two teams have ended with alternating victories for each side. Certainly, a leader and a powerhouse like River Plate will not allow a second consecutive setback. We bet on a victory for River Plate with a handicap of "-1.5 goals."
Prediction for the match: River Plate to win with -1.5 handicap.
