Alianza Lima vs River Plate: another win-to-nil for the Millionaires

The Peruvian team Alianza Lima will face Argentina's River Plate in round 1 of the Copa Libertadores. Despite the home advantage, bookmakers are on the side of the Argentines, having little to no doubt that the team from Buenos Aires will bring three points from Peru.

Such results have resulted in Alianza sitting 15th in the Peruvian Primera Division standings, much closer to the bottom than to leading Binacional, which has 18 points. Alliance's home stats are 14th in the division, +1=1-1, 4-3 goal difference.

Such results allow the Millionaires sit second in the standings of Group A of the Argentine tournament, with an asset of 16 points and two points behind leading Racing. River Plate have the best away statistics in the group, +3=0-1, 5-2 goal difference.

Expert Betting Tips

River Plate tends to perform well on the road, enjoying the best away statistics in their group in the Argentina Primera Division and there is every reason to believe that the Argentines are going to Peru exclusively for three points. All the more so, given the terrible recent statistics of their future rival. That said, there have been few high-scoring matches in the first group stage performances. We believe that the draw trend will continue. We propose a combined option W2+TU (3.5) for 2.02 at 1xbet.

Alianza Lima never scored in the last two matches, while River Plate regularly plays with a clean sheet. For example, the last five matches involving the Millionaires ended in wins-to-nil for the club from Buenos Aires. The second bet will be a bet on the correct score, and we think that the Argentinians will get an away win with a score of 2-0 for 5.50 as offered by Bet365 & 22bet.
