River Plate vs. Emelec Soccer Prediction
For the fourth round of the Copa Libertadores River Plate receives the Ind Santa Fe in Argentina
River Plate enter the field on Thursday to take the lead of their group in the continental competition after Flamengo draw with Santa Fe on Wednesday.
In case of victory, the Argentines are in the isolated leadership in the group and in a very comfortable situation in the competition.
Undoubtedly this beginning of the year has been a lot of quality for Argentines, who come in a series of four successive victories and has not lost more than twelve matches.
One of those responsible for the good moment of the team is the goalkeeper Armani, who lives a spectacular stage and has secured the tips for the defensive system, so why the team has not conceded goals in the last five games.
The team should be basically the same team that beat Emelec last week by 1 × 0 in Ecuador.
Franco Armani; Gonzalo Montiel, Jonatan Maidana, Javier Pinola and Marcelo Saracchi; Ignacio Fernández, Leonardo Ponzio, Enzo Pérez; Gonzalo Martínez; Rodrigo Mora and Lucas Pratto.
Emelec, on the other hand, lives a very different moment from their rival tonight, much in the National Championship and in last place in the Libertadores Cup, the team have had six defeats in the last nine games, also in the Libertadores won just one point among the nine disputed.
Proprio’s team coach handed over the job earlier this week and was persuaded to stay until that match. However he himself declared that even if operating a “miracle” in Argentina the coach may leave his duties.
Although they want to give importance to what was in the other matches, I do not believe that the Ecuadorian team will be able to beat the River in Argentina.
The team has already shown that it has serious technical problems and now lives on the uncertainty of the directing direction of the club.
Prediction River Plate vs Emelec:
The River may still close the week ahead of its biggest rival Boca Jrs who lost to Palmeiras by 2 × 0 on Wednesday and should gain a lot of space in the local media negatively.
If River was victorious in this match, it takes the first place and still has one more game at home against Flamengo in the last round, so besides the vacancy in the octaves, there is a great chance of securing the first place in the group.
Prediction of the Day: River and Over 1.5 goals
Odds: 1.52
