Dep. Riestra vs River Plate Prediction & Betting Tips (13 June)

Deportivo Riestra does not necessarily expect to compete with the big guys for the coronation but can aim to be in the middle of the table. For the moment, we are having difficulty starting the season with certainly a victory during J1 against San Lorenzo 1-0 but three losses during the last three days with the particularity of not having planted a single pawn. A series which started on the lawn of Estudiantes 2-0, which continued at home against Rosario 0-2 and finally on the lawn of the leader Racing Club 1-0. Opposite, do not aiming for the title would be a total lack of respect for the crest, the jersey, the club, the supporters and the institution itself. We are still talking about the record 38 times national champion, River Plate, which currently only occupies the top 5 with 9 points collected after four days and only 1 point behind the leader Racing Club.

Before discussing the results of Banda Roja, let's talk about its defensive solidity with only 2 goals conceded and 9 scored. Recently, on the last day, River Plate got the better of Tigre 3-1 on the heels of their crucial victory on the final day of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores equivalent of the UCL in Europe against Deportivo Tachira 2-0 which also allowed it to retain its 1st place and thus reach the round of 16. In terms of bad news, let us note the exit in the 1/16 final of the Argentine Cup against Temperley D2 on neutral ground 1-1, TAB.

Absent from the match sheets since March, Villoldo (28 appearances last season) will remain on the tarmac for this meeting (OUT) and potentially accompanied by the central defender started against Racing Club Yaison Murillo (exited prematurely in the 24th minute of play) . The only scorer at the moment in the league for Riestra, Herrera (11 pawns with Ferro in D2 Argentina last year) will be in the mix. The latter was also the most threatening in the Coupe de la Ligue with 3 goals. At River Plate, there is some damage to deplore with probably four players on the flank this evening (injured). Let's start with Funes Mori (very little used), Dimitri Payet's former teammate at West Ham, Lanzini (arrived free of any contract in the summer of 2023), without forgetting Pity Martinez (very long injured) and Daniel Zabala ( 21 years old) regularly replacing.

Clearly, the main major elements will be additional. Like Borja Hernandez and Colidio (3 pawns each in the championship, or 2/3 of the goals scored by the team). Let's not forget to mention the presence of Argentinian U23 international Pablo Solari (5 goals, 7 assists last year in the league) or even Barco (5 goals, 3 goals last year).
