We said: Melgar 1-0 Cuiaba
It seems unlikely that Racing Club will lose to River Plate in the other fixture in this group on Thursday, but Melgar will make sure that they do their part so they can capitalise on any potential slip-up from the leaders. This encounter is likely to be a close affair, but Melgar are in better form overall which should give them the edge in this one, especially being on home soil also. Read more.Data Analysis
