Urawa Red Diamonds are unlikely to "shock" River Plate. |
Football prediction River Plate vs Urawa Red Diamonds
River Plate are in an impressive run of form. The Buenos Aires side are unbeaten in 18 consecutive matches in all competitions. They are the leading contenders for the Argentine domestic title and have easily qualified for the 2025 Copa Libertadores, where they are regular visitors and have won the competition multiple times.
Coach Martín Demichelis is building a team rich in youth but not lacking in character. In the current squad, in addition to experienced veterans, there are also outstanding young talents, typically Franco Mastantuono, the player who will move to Real Madrid after the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. He is expected to become the new gem of Argentine football.
On the other side of the front line, Urawa Red Diamonds have been in inconsistent form recently. The team is currently ranked 4th in the J-League, 7 points behind the top and has played 1 more game. More worryingly, Urawa Red Diamonds' defense has conceded 9 goals in the last 5 matches. Therefore, they will face many difficulties against River Plate's fast and technical attack.
It can be seen that River Plate is superior to Urawa Red Diamonds in many aspects. The quality of the squad and the depth of the force, along with recent form, are completely leaning towards the representative of Argentine football. It seems that the ability of Urawa Red Diamonds to create a surprise is not high.
