It's the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final and River Plate come into this game with a great chance of winning their fourth title after a 2-2 away draw in the first leg. They trailed twice in the first leg and had to rely on an own goal to get the important second equalizer. Both of these teams hail from Argentina and it's Boca Juniors who are in a higher position in the Superliga at present being sixth compared to 11th for their opponents. River Plate have only lost one game in the 2018 Copa Libertadores, a 1-0 home defeat by Gremio in the first leg of the semi-final. They have only lost one of their last 13 games in this tournament and at home only two of their last 18 matches. They are unbeaten in their last five games against Boca Juniors and with those two away goals, know a low-scoring draw will be enough to give them the title for the first time since 2015.

Boca Juniors are undefeated in their last four games but have only won one of their last four matches in the Copa Libertadores. They have gone six away games in this competition without defeat but only one has ended in victory. Only three times in their last 13 away Copa Libertadores matches have they scored at least twice. Away form is a general problem with only three wins in the last 19 in all competitions. River Plate have the momentum coming into this second leg and can get the win.
