Sao Paulo vs River Plate Betting Tips & Predictions

São Paulo will be disappointed with their form so far in this competition, especially given their history, having won the Copa de Libertadores three times.  They began the group stage of the tournament badly with a 0-1 shock loss at home to The Strongest, conceding a 62^nd minute goal and being denied 5 times by the opposition goalkeeper. Next up they faced River Plate away, where they had to rely on an own goal from River Plate to earn a point from a 1-1 scoreline before recording the same score away to group strugglers Trujillanos, they had a great chance to win the game in the 65^th minute after winning a penalty, however Midfielder Paulo Henrique Ganso wasted the opportunity for his second goal of the game. São Paulo then hosted Trujillanos where they managed a comfortable 6-0 victory; no doubt their fans will be questioning why they didn’t show that kind of form in the away fixture.

River Plate find themselves top of the group, although only one point away second place a win here would mean they have qualified but they will surely aim to be topping the group giving them a better chance in the knock out stages. They began their tournament with a heavy 0-4 victory away to Trujillanos before a 1-1 draw at home to São Paulo. Following this they travelled to The Strongest where they led the game since the 18^th minute, before conceding a 91^st minute goal ending the game at 1-1, the late goal sparked more drama as both teams had a man sent off. River Plate hosted The Strongest next and made no mistakes this time, scoring 5 first half goals in a 6-0 demolition job.

Sao Paulo are in good form heading into this fixture, but River Plate have shown consistently that they have got goals in them, especially in their 6-0 victory against The Strongest. Both teams to score looks good value in this one.
