Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Monterrey
Buoyed by a 3-1 win over Urawa Reds, River Plate will look to seal their spot in the FIFA Club World Cup knockout stages as they take on Monterrey at Rose Bowl. Marcelo Gallardo’s men proved their worth in their Group E opener, but Monterrey will pose a much bigger threat for the Argentinians than their previous rivals. With no fresh injury worries to report, Gallardo is likely to field the same starting XI that faced Urawa.
Meanwhile, Domenec Torrent’s troops did well to hold Serie A giants Inter to a 1-1 draw in their FIFA Club World Cup opener. Monterrey and River Plate seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we predict that they are going to share the spoils in Sunday’s encounter. Monterrey midfielder Jorge Rodriguez is one yellow card away from suspension after getting booked against Inter.
Highlighted Team (River Plate):
Over the years River Plate have established themselves as one of best sides in South America. The Argentinian outfit are well known for their white shirts with red stripe and black shorts, but they are known for their rivalry with Boca Juniors as well.
There have always been fireworks in matches between the two clubs from Buenos Aires, who face each other in “Superclasico”. Los Millionarios play their home games at Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti, which can hold as much as 61,688 fans. River Plate have 36 Argentine Primera Division trophies, with the team clinching Copa Libertadores on four occasions.
In the final of the 2018 tournament River Plate defeated their bitter local rivals Boca Juniors in the two-legged tie. Due to security reasons the return leg was hosted by Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid. Pablo Aimar, Hernan Crespo, Ariel Ortega, Radamel Falcao and Gonzalo Higuain are one of the most famous footballers that played for River Plate in the past.
