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)

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.
