River Plate vs. Inter Betting Analysis
Both Inter Milan and River Plate haven’t made it to the knockout stage just yet, and although a point would be enough for the Argentines, Inter can’t relax knowing Monterrey is in hot pursuit.
Inter’s last-gasp winner against Urawa Red Diamonds may suggest they have used up their luck earlier than they would have liked, but that might have been the reaction they needed to start progressing in this tournament.
It hasn’t been pretty so far from the Italians, but with Lautaro Martinez in fine form with two goals in as many matches, they will always be a threat to win matches, even when their performances haven’t matched.
River will have left the field against Monterrey frustrated that they didn’t pick up the three points, having dominated the match. However, River fans are no strangers to leaving games frustrated this season, as their side struggles to break down teams when key players are out, and there are plenty missing this match due to injuries or suspensions.
With Enzo Perez, Kevin Castano, and Giuliano Galoppo all suspended – that is Marcelo Gallardo’s whole preferred midfield. Without them, their reserves look weak. Throw in the fact that their leading striker is out injured, and River has a lot to do against Inter, who have been gifted a golden opportunity to sneak a top spot.
