Betting tips Colon vs River Plate

Both sides come into this the third round of LPA matches having drawn their opening two fixtures with River failing to score in both of their drab draws against Defensa y Justicia and Atlético Tucumán. Colon, for their part, were denied all 3 points by a late penalty equaliser in their most recent match against Union.

Historically a tough fixture for River, the visitors have failed to win any of their last 6 league matches against Colon in Santa Fe since a 2:1 win all the way back in 2010.

However, despite a strong record against the champions, Colon´s recent form suggests they will struggle for all 3 points here with the hosts failing to win any of their last 10 league matches since February.

At the Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López, Colon have failed to win their last 6 league matches although goals have been a consistent fixture with each of their last 5 seeing BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored. In all competitions, Colon have seen BTTS in 13 of their last 15 matches and while River´s record in that market is not as strong, Colon´s record is one that is hard to ignore.

Ultimately, given River´s failure to win at this venue in over a decade, we´re taking both teams to score at big 2.2 odds and while hardly a banker pick, a share of the spoils could be on the cards with both teams seeing plenty of draws in recent weeks and Colon proving a tough nut to crack for the visitors historically. 

Final score 1:1
