River Plate vs Universitario: Prediction and odds on the Match on 28 May 2025
Prediction for the 6th round of the Copa Libertadores match, which will occur on May 28th between River Plate and Universitario. River Plate sits pretty at the top of Group B as the group intensifies, and River Plate has now secured their qualification to the knockout round regardless of the outcome of this game. Universitario, on the other hand, is second-placed in Group B, but with only two points above third-placed Del Valle. If there’s ever a time for Universitario to get a win, it is now, but we doubt the possibility of that against an unbeaten River Plate at the Estadio Monumental. We are ready for how it’ll all unfold. Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

River Plate (1st)
River Plate remains consistent this season, with 31 points from 16 games played, with 8 wins, 7 draws, and a single loss, and they stand strong in 4th place in the Argentinian league. River Plate has won their last three league games with a total of over 2.5 goals scored in those games, and the most important part is they’ve remained unbeaten across all competitions in their last 15 games.
In the Copa Libertadores, River Plate has maintained a positive outlook with no losses from the 5 games played. Their first game in the Libertadores was against Universitario, with Diaz finding the net in the 17th minute. Their second game against Barcelona ended in a goalless draw, with Sebastian Driussi failing to convert a penalty from the spot. Their third game against Del Valle was a very tough one, which ended in a 2-2 draw. However, they defeated Barcelona SC by a 2-3 scoreline in their fourth group game to maintain their lead at the top of Group B.
Their biggest victory came against Del Valle in their fifth Group B game. River Plate totally dominated Del Valle in that game, and they eventually won that game by a 6-2 scoreline. River Plate is 4 points above second, Universitario, and they must finish the group stage unbeaten in all games.
River Plate: Lineup
It is expected that River Plate will set out in a 4-3-3 Diamond formation that is well balanced between defense and attack. Borja is a force to be reckoned with, coming from the bench to score in their last game against Del Valle, and he has done this for two games in a row now.

Universitario (2nd)
Universitario is having an amazing run in the Peruvian league as they currently top the Liga Apertura. It has spiraled downhill since their first league defeat to Cusco. Cusco overpowered Universitario by two goals to nil, and it was the start of something terrible as they also suffered two more defeats in succession to Alianza Atletico and Juan Pablo. Universitario only managed to get back to winning ways in their last league game against Sporting Cristal with two goals to nil. However, these defeats have put Universitario in a tough place, but they still stand strong at the top of the league with 8 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses from 13 games played.
In the Copa Libertadores, Universitario had a rough start with two consecutive losses in their first two group B games, but they seem to be slowly gaining momentum as they’ve not lost since those first two league defeats. Their first group B game against River Plate was a tough one, which ended in a 0-1 defeat. Their second group game against Del Valle ended in a 1-0 defeat, but they put those failures behind them and secured a shocking victory against Barcelona SC in matchday 3. The game ended in a 0-1 victory for Universitario, with the 30-year-old Flores scoring the only goal of the game for Universitario. In matchday 4, Del Valle held Universitario to a 1-1 draw, and they sealed their qualification to the knockout round with a narrow win over Barcelona SC in matchday 5. 29-year-old Alex Valera scored the only goal of the game from Jairo Concha’s assist.
Universitario: Probable Lineup
Manuel Baretto will field his regular 5-3-2 formation, which he has fielded in his last two league games and even in their last Libertadores game. Flores is in superb form, and he will lead the attack alongside Alex Valera, while Aldo Corzo will captain the squad.
🔖 confirmed lineup ( 5-3-2):
Britos — Aldo Corzo, Dulanto, Williams Riveros, Inga, Hugo Ancajima— Velez, Murrugarra, Concha, — Flores, Rivera
👤 Head Coach: Manuel Barreto
