River Plate vs Colo Colo Prediction and Betting Tips | September 24th 2024 

River Plate will host Colo Colo at the Estadio Mas Monumental on Wednesday in the second leg of their 2024 Copa Libertadores quarterfinal clash. The home side are enjoying a good run of form at the moment, most recently beating rivals Boca Juniors 1-0 in their derby clash on Saturday via a Manuel Lanzini first-half strike. River Plate will now be looking to carry that momentum onto the continental stage this week.

Colo Colo have also enjoyed a good run of form in their domestic assignments of late, although they recently suffered a 3-0 defeat to second tier outfit Magallanes in the Copa Chile, marking their first defeat to the Albicelestes since January 2023.

Los Millonarios and Colo Colo played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg clash last week, with former Real Betis man German Pezzella opening the scoring for River Plate late in the first half before Carlos Palacios leveled the scores for the Chilean side at the hour mark.

With the tie now in the balance, the two teams will face off this week to fight for a spot in the semifinal of the continental showpiece.
