Talleres de Cordoba vs River Plate Buenos Aires: Another top win for the Millionaires?

One of the leaders in Group A, River Plate, will face League Cup outsider Talleres de Cordoba in round 11. Now the future hosts are representing their country in the Libertadores Cup this season. Bookmakers have little doubt that River Plate will win this coming Thursday.

Talleres de Cordoba started with a home win over Universidad Católica Santiago in the Libertadores Cup. However, after that win, they lost three consecutive matches. In the Argentinian League Cup, the team were weaker than Defensa y Justicia and Argentinos Juniors. Before the start of the 11th round of the Argentinian League Cup, Talleres de Cordoba sits in 14th place in Group A with 5 points, 13 points behind Defensa y Justicia, the team in the play-off zone. The home stats for Talleres de Cordoba are 12th in the group, with 4 points after five games.

River Plate's winning streak is now five games long and began immediately after a home defeat to Boca Juniors. Since then, they have achieved two victories in the Libertadores Cup, beating Alliance Lima and Fortaleza. In the Argentinian League Cup, River Plate was stronger than Defensa, Argentinos Juniors and Banfield. We should note that all these matches involving Rivera in the domestic tournament were rich in goals. Before the start of the 11th round of the Argentinian League Cup, River Plate was second in Group A with 22 points and two points behind Racing. On the road, River Plate has the second best away statistics in the division, with four wins in five games, one defeat and a 7:3 goal difference.

If the Millionaires are motivated by playing on two fronts, the Talleres have problems with such a busy schedule. Considering that there are only three days between the League Cup fixtures, we doubt Talleres will have time to gain form, even if it's on the home field. First bet is W2.

Although they've lost their last three matches, Talleres Cordoba has scored in their last seven fixtures in the two tournaments. We believe that there will definitely be enough for them to score on Thursday. Second bet is W2 + Both Teams To Score.
