THE PREDICTION
A close contest between these two Argentinian teams in the first leg of this round of 16 Copa Libertadores encounter ended in a 1-1 draw as the sides get set to do battle again at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona. Neither are in the best of form, with River Plate having won just once in their last six competitive fixtures in a run stretching back to last season. Over the same period, Argentinos Juniors have only two wins, with two draws and two defeats. Matches involving River Plate normally sees goals at either end of the field, with both teams scoring in each of their most recent seven fixtures, also going back to last campaign. With the visitors needing to score at least once here, they are expected to take the game to Argentinos Juniors, which may lead to more success going forward than they gathered in the first leg, but could also see them exposed in defence. Therefore, both teams to score in this second leg does look on the cards.
