River Plate have it all to do when they return to Buenos Aires to host Atletico Mineiro for the return leg of the Copa Libertadores semi-final. With the Brazilian side holding a dominant 3-0 lead, can the Argentinian giants turn things around and pull off a miraculous comeback? We’ve got a match prediction waiting for you!
Atlético Mineiro’s finishing was of the highest order in Belo Horizonte and they now have one foot in the final after a 3-0 win.
Manager Gabriel Milito made wholesale changes to his team’s weekend Brasileiro Serie A fixture against Internacional, which they would end up losing 3-1 at home.
Sitting in ninth-place with eight matches left in the domestic league, Atlético Mineiro will likely have to win the Copa Libertadores if they are to take part in next season’s edition.
River Plate have entered into a tailspin at the worst possible time as their dream of a fifth Copa Libertadores title is hanging on by a thread. A 0-0 away draw with Defensa y Justicia on the weekend means that Marcelo Gallardo’s side is now winless in their last five outings.
What’s more, they’ve gone ice-cold in front of the net as they’ve been blanked in four of those five matches, managing to score just a single goal during that stretch.

Our River Plate vs Atletico MG Prediction
The first finalist for the 2024 Copa Libertadores final will be decided on Tuesday night with the winner coming up against either Botafogo or Peñarol. River Plate have been excellent on home soil in this particular competition and we think they’ll snap out of their recent funk here.
Across the Argentinian Primera Division and the Copa Libertadores, River have an impressive 10-4-1 record. While they might not have enough to ultimately overturn the aggregate scoreline, the hosts should at least walk away with a win. Our River Plate vs Atletico Mineiro prediction: River Plate to win.

More than 80 leagues and competitions are available on this football promotion from bet365. If the team that you have backed takes a two-goal lead at any point in the game, then your bet is a winner, regardless of the final scoreline. This counts on both single bets and on multiples placed on the full time market, though of course on a multiple it is only the game in question that is marked as a winner, all the other selections still have to win as well.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
