Prediction

  • The Copa Libertadores is reaching the business end as we reach the semi-final stage. Kicking off the Semis is a fascinating Brazil v Argentina battle as, Atletico Mineiro host River Plate at the Arena MRV.
  • Atletico Mineiro may be underperforming in the league, but in Cup competitions this season they have been great. At the weekend, they booked their place in the Copa do Brasil final, following a 3-2 aggregate win over Vasco da Gama. They earned their place in the Semi-Finals with a 2-1 aggregate win over defending champions Fluminense.
  • Since their Copa Libertadores 2-1 aggregate victory over Colo-Colo in the last round, River Plate are winless in their last three outing, following a loss and two draws. That will not faze them though as they relish playing in this competition and Marcelo Gallardo always has a plan up his sleeve. On Friday evening, River drew 1-1 with Velez Sarsfield at home.
  • The sides last met in 2021 where Galo ran out 4-0 aggregate winners in the quarter-final stage.
