Game Preview

The Argentinian powerhouse had no trouble with Urawa, whom they routed 3-1. At one moment, it looked as if the Japanese init might come back, but River calmly solved the match in its favor. This team has 18 straight games without a loss.

Marcos Acuna had a pair of assists, while Sebastian Druissi, Colidio and Meza netted for the Argentinians. This was the 8th time in the last 9 of River Plate’s games that both teams scored.

Sergio Ramos’ goal was enough for a 1-1 tie against Inter Milan. This was a big result for Monterrey, who plays interesting football overall. The Nerazzurri were better and had more chances, but the Mexicans withstood the pressure.

Bayern Munich vs. Boca Juniors Preview, Odds, Predictions (Jun 20)

Both teams have scored in 4 of Monterrey’s previous 5 contests. That’s usually the case when Rayados play away from home. The game against River will be their biggest here as they meet with the direct rivals for the knockout stage.

River Plate vs. Monterrey Head to Head

These teams met in 2023, when River won 1-0, and in 2024, when we saw a 1-1 tie.

River Plate vs. Monterrey Predictions

River will settle for a point here, no doubt, but relying solely on defense would be foolish. We think we won’t see many goals here, but there will be some. That’s why a moderate efficiency, 2 or 3 goals, looks like the best pick here.
