THE PREDICTION
A penalty was all that separated Velez Sarsfield and River Plate in their round of 16 first-leg, but the onus is on the hosts to overturn the one goal deficit. That all-important home advantage cannot be understated in such a big game and River Plate have not only won their last three in all competitions at Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti, but have also scored a whopping 14 goals over the course of those three matches. When taking into account the quality of players at the disposal of River Plate, it’s unlikely that Velez Sarsfield will be able to keep them out for a second consecutive game and on their own ground, it’s worth backing Marcelo Gallardo’s side to emerge victorious over 90 minutes here.
