--------------------------
This is the second leg of the Copa Libertadores Round of 16, where River Plate will host Club Libertad. The first leg ended in a 0-0 draw, making it a must-win for River Plate to advance.
Team Analysis
River Plate has been in excellent recent form, maintaining an unbeaten streak and demonstrating strong dominance at home. However, the team is dealing with some injury concerns, including key defender Germán Pezzella and forward Maxi Salas. Despite this, coach Marcelo Gallardo's tactical expertise is highly reliable. The offensive core, such as Miguel Borja and Facundo Colidio, will bear the responsibility of scoring goals, buoyed by the support of their home crowd.
Player Situation
Club Libertad, on the other hand, is known for its strong defense. In the first leg, they showcased a formidable defensive line, with goalkeeper Martín Silva's outstanding performance being particularly impressive. Although the team's performance in the Paraguayan league has been inconsistent, they often display incredible resilience in cup competitions. They are likely to continue with a defensive counter-attack strategy, looking for scoring opportunities through players like Ivan Franco up front.
Nowgoal Prediction
Given the first-leg draw and River Plate's significant home advantage, they are expected to dominate the match from the outset. While Club Libertad's defense is stubborn, River Plate's offensive power and squad depth will ultimately help them find a breakthrough. The match is likely to intensify in the second half, with River Plate's relentless attack ultimately securing the victory.
