River Plate - Atlético Mineiro: forecast for the Libertadores Cup match
River Plate will host Atletico Mineiro on October 30 in the return leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinal. Will the "millionaires" be able to win back three goals after the fiasco in Belo Horizonte, or is it already impossible to take away a ticket to the final from the "roosters"? In the forecast, we assessed the probability of a comeback, identified current trends in the confrontation and prepared reliable bets. What choice to make?
Command Analysis
River Plate
ArgentinaCurrent form
The season is not going well for River Plate and the "millionaires" do not have their former power. In the Argentine Super League, Marcelo Gallardo team occupies only the ninth line in the table after 19 rounds, already lagging behind the leader Velez by 11 points. The only opportunity to brighten up the season was a victory in the Libertadores Cup, where River Plate has already reached the semi-finals, but a 0:3 defeat in the first match leaves little chance of reaching the final.
Disqualifications and injuries
Allendo, Santana and Acuña are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- River Plate have not won in their last five matches – three draws and two defeats
- River Plate have lost their last three matches against Atletico Mineiro
Estimated line-up : Armani - Bustos, Diaz, Pessella, Gonzalez, Diaz - Simon, Fonseca, Fernandez - Borja, Colidio.
Atletico MG
BrazilCurrent form
Atletico Mineiro, like its current opponent, is having a very poor season at the national level. In the Brazilian Serie A, Gabriel Milito team is currently only in 10th place in the table and is 10 points behind the Copa Libertadores zone, with a game in hand. It is possible to get into the main club tournament of South America by winning it, and the "roosters" took a step towards the trophy in the first match, beating the "millionaires" 3:0.
Disqualifications and injuries
Saracho, Bernard and Kadu are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Atletico Mineiro have not won in their last five away matches – three defeats and two draws
- Atletico Mineiro have scored in their last three away matches
Probable line-up : Everson – Alonso, Battaglia, Lianco – Arana, Vera, Franco, Scarpa – Paulinho, Diverson, Hulk.

3.15Tip and bets
River Plate suffered a real fiasco in Belo Horizonte a week ago – although the “millionaires” were not considered favorites in this match, a three-goal defeat is certainly a sensation. At home, River Plate will try to recoup – it will be very difficult to make a comeback and transfer the game at least to overtime, but the “millionaires” are quite capable of winning, Atletico Mineiro is extremely vulnerable away even at the national level.
We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) on River Plate . This bet is offered with odds of 2.17
Bet on total
River Plate lost by three goals in the first match and there is no other way out except to take risks and go forward with a large force right from the starting whistle. It is unlikely that Atletico Mineiro has a chance to play to zero today, the “roosters” regularly concede away goals. At the same time, the visitors will have plenty of space for counterattacks, they will probably finish one of them with a result.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.15
Bet on corners
River Plate are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-5) on corners at River Plate. This bet is offered at 1.79
