THE PREDICTION
The signing of Diego Costa has added some spice to this tie for Atletico Mineiro. The first-leg of this one was an entertaining affair with 34 shots on goal between the two sides but it was the Brazilians that came out on top in Argentina. Defensive solidity and a focus on that will once again be the plan for success for the home team so a low-scoring game is likely with River Plate needing to focus on attacking with an attack that have only scored more than one goal in a game on one occasion in their last five matches in all competitions. Under 3.5 goals, therefore, seems likely.
