River Plate are coming from a shock loss to Tigre and will need to rise up fast enough for the visit of Chilean side Colo Colo in Group F of the Copa Libertadores. Going into Match Day 5, River Plate lead the group on 10 points with Colo Colo second on seven points. River Plate beat Colo Colo 2-1 away in the first meeting in this group and the Argentine side goes into this game needing just a point to secure a place in the next round. River Plate’s recent matches have been high scoring; they go into this match with eight of their last 10 having produced over 2.5 goals. They’ve scored in the first half in three of their last four matches and only failed to score once in the last 12 matches. Both sides have scored in four of their last five matches, and they have one clean sheet in this run.

Colo Colo are keen on avenging the 2-1 loss they suffered at home to River Plate and a win here also promises to go a long way in securing a place in the next round. After a three-game winless run, Colo Colo are coming from two straight wins, the most recent a 4-0 victory over Coquimbo Unido. That was their first clean sheet in nine matches; in each of the earlier eight, both sides have scored. In their last three matches, Colo Colo have scored in the first half and three of their last four matches have produced over 2.5 goals. The Chilean side is just returning to the Copa Libertadores after a two-year absence. Their start was great, winning two in two, but in the last two matches they haven’t managed a win, and one of them was a 2-1 loss to River Plate. Both sides have scored in their four Copa Libertadores matches.
