River Plate take on the visitors vs The Strongest in the round 6 match of Copa Libertadores group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 28th at Estadio Monumental (Buenos Aires).
River Plate seem to have made a successful gamble with their risky choice of a young coach. The "Millonarios" became champions in the season before last, which may not seem like a significant achievement for a club of their caliber, but it was their first "gold" in seven years since 2014. However, they dropped to third place in the following cycle. After that, the director, Francescoli, took an unconventional step by appointing Demichelis as the coach, a well-known player who was just starting his coaching career. But Martin is handling the job well, and his team is currently leading in the league. However, their performance in the Copa Libertadores (which they won twice under Gallardo in 2015 and 2018) has been less impressive. Even after a 2-0 victory against Fluminense in the 5th round, the Argentine team has only accumulated 7 points. They are currently in second place, but there is only 1 point separating them from the team in fourth place.

The Strongest should aim for nothing but victory. Last year, they took only second place the championship race in Bolivia. By the way, they are also contenders for "gold" in the league this season and are managing to maintain a leading position. However, they have never had much success in the Copa Libertadores, with their best performance being reaching the first round of the playoffs. There are still chances for them to qualify this time as well. However, their victories have only come at home against River Plate and Fluminense, while they managed to lose to the underdog, Sporting Cristal, on their own turf. As a result, they currently occupy the last place, but they are only 3 points behind the leader. So, if they win, it could surprise everyone.
In 2016, River Plate took 4 out of 6 possible points. However, in the spring, The Strongest managed to secure a 3-1 victory at home. The Argentinians are strong, and they understand the importance of winning now. Let's agree and even bet on a handicap of "-2.0 goals."
Prediction for the match: River Plate to win with -2.0 handicap.
