The first Copa Libertadores semifinal between River Plate and Gremio is held tonight in Buenos Aires' Monumental. The winner will face the Boca-Palmeira winner in the finals.
Finally undefeated for River Plate! After 33 championship matches came the first defeat in Santa Fe from the local Column with 1-0, in a match that Coach Gagardo made many changes in view of the current semi-final. In general, River has been in good shape, as well as her great advantage over Intercessed in the Libertadores, and went on to the next round of the Cup, dominating 3-1 against the weak Sarmiento de Resistencia. Once 1 defeats the last 18 matches, having a good defense and strong headquarters, where 22 is still undefeated for most recent matches regardless of organization.
On the other hand, Gremio has easily crossed the Atletico Tucuman Barrier in the quarter-finals of the Libertadores, winning the qualification with two wins without even getting a goal! Now she has a big challenge as she will face a big team in her bid to defend her title. In the championship, Gautso's team is not doing well, with 52 being in 5's position, minus 10 from PALMERIA's champion. The away team at the Libertadores has only one defeat in its last nine games.
River is the favorite of the match based on the strong seat and can take the winning lead, but I think it is a great challenge for the teams to score and bet on it!
