APWin Prediction

Under 2.5 Goals

APWin experts have analyzed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: River Plate to win the 1st half

River Plate has been a strong home team overall this season, and the statistics point to them being particularly quick to pounce in the opening 45 minutes. Whether that aggressive mentality is due to the energy of the home crowd or an intentional plan on the part of the manager, it has proven to be very effective.

We foresee that plan paying off once again in their match against Palmeiras, so our top tip is for River Plate to win the first half.

👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

After scanning the different markets for River Plate vs Palmeiras, we find that under 9.5 corners is the most eye-catching bet based on the playing profile of the two sides.

We don't foresee much free-flowing attacking football from the two teams, which will greatly reduce the chances of them winning the 10 total corners required to sink this bet.
