River Plate vs Urawa Reds Prediction & Betting Tips (17 June)

Qualified thanks to its great performances carried out for several years in Copa Libertadores, River Plat is lacking in popularity, whether in its own country, in Argentina, or beyond its borders.

Irregular, Urawa players alternated the good and the least good these last players with a defeat against Nagoya 2-1, a draw against Cezero Osaka 0-0 and a victory against Yokohama 2-1. 

On the side of River Plate, defenders Paulo Dia and Leandro Gonzalez, the right side champion of the world Gonzalo Montiel (ex FC Seville) and the Maximiliano Meza and Matias Rojas circles all take their pain in the infirmary at the moment. In this team, several attackers manage to get their faces of the game but none really panic the meters. The real conductor of this training is Franco Mastanuono (6 goals, 4 assists in all competitions this season). He will also join Real Madrid after the competition while Colidio (6 goals), Drussi (6 goals) and Miguel Borja (6 goals) can also be formidable. Due to Urawa, the vast majority of players present are Japanese players but none is part of the current Japanese national team.
