The River Plate vs Independiente match will be broadcast live online and on TV as Los Millonarios host Los Diablos Rojos at the Estadio Monumental this Tuesday, October 2, 2018, at 3:30 PM Pacific.

The Copa Libertadores is now in the quarterfinal stage and this seems to be the most intriguing matchup as the aggregate score is still 0-0 after the first leg. River Plate defeated Racing Club by an aggregate score of 3-0 to get to this stage of the competition and will look to win it all.

Marcelo Gallardo’s team is currently fourth in the Superliga Argentina, just five points behind league-leaders Racing Club. River Plate has a very talented squad with a very solid backline featuring players like Javier Pinola, Jonatan Maidana and Franco Armani in between the sticks.

The offense has struggled to find consistency this season, but does have some very intriguing players like Lucas Pratto, Gonzalo Martinez and Juan Fernando Quintero. Los Millonarios will have the territorial advantage at the Monumental and are in much better form than Independiente, making them the favorites in this clash.

Independiente is struggling in the Superliga Argentina, currently in 14th place, but did get past Brazilian giants Santos to get to this quarterfinal fixture. El Rojo counts with a solid roster, including striker Emmanuel Gigliotti, who currently leads the Superliga with five goals.

Uruguayan goalkeeper Martin Campana can also be a key figure in vital duels like these and will need to be in top form against River Plate if Independiente is to advance to the semifinals. Los Diablos Rojos did not use their home-field advantage in the first-leg of this matchup and will now have a very tough task away from home at the Monumental.

River Plate vs Independiente Prediction

River Plate have arguably a better team, are in better form and will have the home-field advantage, so FutnSoccer predicts a slim 1-0 win for Los Millonarios in what should be a very intense clash.
