Corinthians v River Plate (1) 1.80 interwetten. av 1.70.

River won the 1st leg 3-2 but Corins did ok in the game. River need a draw and Corins need the win to progress....

2006-04-27 02:45 River Plate 3 2 Corinthians
2005-09-29 02:45 River Plate 1 1 Corinthians
2005-09-15 02:45 Corinthians 0 0 River Plate
2003-05-15 02:40 Corinthians 1 2 River Plate
2003-05-01 20:30 River Plate 2 1 Corinthians

h2h advantage (all comps) is with river but Corins record in the Copa Lib @ home is awesome; undefeated in 10 years: w12 d1 l0.

Total Copa Lib games @ home: w17 d1 l2.


Passarella:

we will not go for Brazil with fear. We have to attack, because to be itself behind, the Brazilians always earn ".

Probably the best option 'cos River are better in attack than defence; a mediocre defence that will have some problems tonight with players missing:

Passarella now must structure a decimated defense to remove, like minimum, the tie in the Morumbí stage.
In addition to Leonardo Talamonti, that it marked Carlos Tevez individually but finished expelled in the second time in Buenos Aires, the rear can be left without Julio Caesar Cáceres, who still feels pains in the adductive muscle of the right leg.

cf terra.br


It's apples and oranges, but....

league stats:
corins @ home (2005) w16 d6 l3
(2006) w1 d0 l0

River away (clausura) w1 d6 l2 - plenty of draws as their defence has cost 'em. GF15 GA15 - only Argentinos, Quilmes, Instituto and Tiro have let in more away from home: and the last two are bad.


River with an ordinarily poor defence already weakened further presents a problem as they should really play for the draw. I don't think they can do that against Tevez and Nilmar, etc

Worth a small bet imo.
