by Tyler Doty in Copa Libertadores Picks
River Plate is one of the most successful clubs in the history of the Copa Libertadores, with four final victories in 1986, 1996, 2015, and 2018. The Argentine club still has to eliminate two opponents to reach another Copa Libertadores final. Marcelo Gallardo's team is on a roll, having gone unbeaten in 12 games since June 26, when they lost 2-0 to Inter Milan in the FIFA Club World Cup. September has started well, with Driussi (4 goals in the Copa Libertadores) and his teammates recording two league wins against San Martin S.J (2-0) and Estudiantes (1-2) this weekend. Unbeaten at home in this Copa Libertadores, River Plate performed well at the Estadio Monumental against Barcelona SC (0-0), Ind. del Valle (6-2), U. de Deportes (1-1) and Libertad (1-1, 3-1 on penalties).
Palmeiras, meanwhile, has won three Copa Libertadores titles, in 1999, 2020, and 2021. The Brazilian club, unbeaten in seven matches (five wins and two draws), including Serie A Betano and Copa Libertadores, remains in the league with one draw at Corinthians (1-1) and one big win over Internacional (4-1) on Saturday. Currently second behind Flamengo by just one point, Palmeiras has struggled away from home, with only three wins in its last seven trips in all competitions. In the Copa Libertadores, the Brazilian side has been formidable, with four wins in four away games at Sporting Cristal (2-3), Bolivar (2-3), Cerro Porteno (0-2) and U.de Deportes (0-4). But this trip to Argentina, in the heated atmosphere of the Monumental in Buenos Aires, could produce a different result!

Our River Plate vs Palmeiras Prediction
After seven consecutive victories in this Copa Libertadores, Brazilian club Palmeiras suffered its first setback on home turf against U.de Deportes (0-0) on August 22 in the second leg of the round of 16, following a first leg in Peru that it dominated (0-4). Currently second in Serie A Betano, and unaccustomed to being challenged in the Copa Libertadores, Palmeiras is likely to face real problems in Buenos Aires against Argentine side River Plate, which is also undefeated in this international competition (four wins and four draws). Narrowly eliminated in the Copa Libertadores semi-finals in 2021 by Palmeiras (0-3 defeat and 2-0 victory), River Plate is keen to take its revenge!
Our prediction for River Plate vs Palmeiras: Over 1.5 goals in the match!
