Inter Milan and River Plate: Form Guide
Inter Milan is under scrutiny, needing a win to go through. They have been patchy of late, but their frontline with stars like Lautaro Martínez continues to be strong. The defence has to step up against River’s dynamic attackers to defend against them.
River Plate came in with tons of confidence after a strong win over Urawa though their previous fixture ended in a draw with Monterrey. Though River only needs a draw, coach Martín Demichelis will not settle for a draw and will play to win to roll solid momentum into the knockout round after swatting away two Heartland clubs. The goal scorers are Colidio, Borja, and Echeverri, who helped out in the last match.
