We said: Racing Club 2-0 River Plate
As River Plate have nothing to play for as such in this match, the visitors are not expected to cause Racing Club many problems, and the hosts should sail to winning this group. The hosts will have more confidence and that should significantly help them towards three points, getting on the scoresheet a couple of times against a side which in recent weeks has regularly conceded twice in each game.
