REF’s picks

River Plate hold the upper hand at the Monumental, and backing them to cover the one-goal handicap offers solid value given Racing's recent struggles. Gallardo's side comes off a convincing 3-0 away win and generally controls matches against weaker visiting defences.

1. 1River Plate won three of their last five matches and boast strong home momentum.
2. 2Racing Club sit down in 13th place and have leaked eight goals across their last five fixtures.
3. 3Racing can occasionally frustrate rivals on the counter-attack, making a clean win difficult.
