Game Preview
Franco Mastantuono has signed with Real, but according to several sources, he will be unable to play for River at this tournament. The Argentinians come to the USA with high hopes and are ready to battle.
After posting five wins in all the competitions, River couldn’t win in the previous back-to-back matches. After losing in the Torneo quarterfinals to Platanense, they played 1-1 against Universitario de Deportes in Copa Libertadores. Only 2 of their last 10 games didn’t end with both teams netting.

Urawa’s recent results were mixed. They had a stretch of three games without a win, posting two ties and a loss, followed by a victory over Yokohama FC in their most recent event, 2-1. By the way, 4 of their last 5 games saw both teams netting and over 2.5 goals.

There weren’t any matches in the past between these teams.
River Plate vs. Urawa Predictions
River has more quality, though, Urawa is a nasty rival. Still, our pick here would be to bet on the Argentinian team’s victory. The difference in market value doesn’t always play the primary role, but here, we believe it will.
