THE PREDICTION
This is a huge match for both sides. Anything other than a home win would see the visitors qualify for the knockout stage with a game to spare but a River Plate victory would give them hope as they head into the final matchday of the group stage. They come into this on the back of a 1-1 draw at home to Cerro Porteno which extended their unbeaten run to three matches in all competitions. Penarol hammered River 3-0 in the reverse fixture between these two and have kept three successive clean sheets - they have conceded eight goals in their last eight games. A clean sheet would confirm qualification so a Penarol double chance seems a strong bet for this one.
