River Plate vs The Strongest Prediction and Betting Tips | June 27th 2023

The race for a place in the knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores goes down to the wire in Group D as River Plate and The Strongest square off on Tuesday.

With just one point separating the sides, we anticipate a thrilling and action-packed group finale at the Estadio Mâs Monumental.

River Plate made it four wins on the trot in all competitions as they thrashed 10-man Instituto Cordoba 3-1 last Thursday.

Martín Demichelis’ men now turn their sights to the Copa Libertadores, where they edged out Fluminense 2-0 on June 8 to end their two-match winless run and keep their knockout-stage hopes alive.

With seven points from five matches, Los Millonarios are currently second in Group D, two points behind first-placed Fluminense.

The Strongest failed to find their feet last time out as they fell to a 6-3 defeat at the hands of Nacional Potosi in the Bolivian Division Professional.

This was in keeping with their struggles in the Copa Libertadores, where Ismael Rescalvo’s men are currently on a run of three defeats in their last four matches.

The Strongest have picked up six points from a possible 15 in Group D, but could still go through to the next phase of the continental showpiece as they sit just one point behind Tuesday’s hosts.
