Nacional vs River Plate
Copa Libertadores, Tuesday, 8pm ET
Play: Both Teams to Score
Odds at Time of Release: -120
Line Parameter: Playable to -125
River Plate are sitting at the top of the group with 9 points, Nacional are 2nd with 6 points, Libertad Asuncion are 3rd with 3 points and Deportivo Tachira are 4th with zero points. Uruguayan side Nacional will play host to River Plate on Tuesday, looking to grab some points in order to hold on to the 2nd spot. River Plate will qualify as top seed with a win, and even a draw might not be bad for them.
Nacional are on a 5-0 run to the Over 2.5 Goals (and 5-0 to the Both Teams to Score), and they've been unbeaten at home so far in the season (W9 D1) in all competitions.
River Plate are on a 4-1 run to the Over 2.5 Goals (and 4-1 to the Both Teams to Score) and have won 5 of L/6 in all competitions.
Both teams are firing in all cylinders as of late, with their defenses not keeping a lot of clean sheets, and this is a match where Nacional absolutely need to take something, otherwise the 2nd spot might be in jeopardy.
If Nacional choose a defensive plan, they can easily get exposed by River Plate's well-oiled offense, so I think they will have a more offensive mindset. After all, River Plate haven't been good defensively and I do see both teams getting in the score-sheet on Tuesday.
