Analysis
River Plate is coming into this match with a heavy trend to the under in their recent matches. They have gone under 2.5 goals in their last 2 straight as well as 13 of their 15 matches this season in all competitions. Their defense has been very good all year and they have kept 5 clean sheets in their last 7 matches, but their attack has not been very good as they have only scored 7 goals in their last 8 matches. When playing at home, they have gone under 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 8 matches there. Their defense has been great in these matches as they have only allowed 4 goals in their last 8 matches at home, keeping 6 clean sheets in those 8 matches. Their attack has been much better in their last 2 matches, but they still have not been great all season as they have scored just 5 goals total in their last 5 home matches. They are going up against a Barcelona Guayaquil side that has also been trending to the under in their recent matches. They have gone under 2.5 goals in their last 4 straight matches and they have also been in great form with 3 straight wins. Their defense has been great in these matches as they have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches and have not allowed a goal in their last 3 straight. Their attack has not been great though as they have scored just 1 goal or less in 4 of their last 5 matches, scoring 4 goals total in those 5 matches. Even when playing away from home, they have gone under 2.5 goals in their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 4 matches and their defense has been great in these. This is going to be their toughest match in the group by far, away from home against the strongest team, but they are in a good position with a win in their 1st match and will be leaning on their defense here as they will be content with 1 point from this match. River Plate does not have a strong attack so Barcelona Guayaquil will make it very difficult for them to score on their good defense, but River Plate also has a very good defense so it is unlikely that Barcelona Guayaquil finds the net here either. This is going to be a low scoring and more defensive match that stays under 2.5 goals. CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores: River Plate/Barcelona Guayaquil under 2.5 goals, Rot. 224678
