With the majority of playing time spent on the attack, there is a strong likelihood of an elevated number of corner kicks, presenting an enticing market opportunity.

This is the second match of Fénix as the local team in the current season. In the first game at home, they faced Wanderers and won, 3-1.

River Plate

As the visiting team in this fixture, River Plate will seek to earn a draw in the game and avoid falling behind by a significant margin at the start of the tournament. To achieve this aim, Ignacio Sáez' team is likely to adopt a more defensive strategy, potentially resulting in a low number of goals conceded or a high number of cards issued during the match.

Bet suggestions for this game:

As we are at the beginning of the competition, there is still little data to be studied, that allows suggestions for good bets. However, it is important to note that, usually, in the first games of a tournament, the matches have goals in the first half. The teams are still getting familiar, and there is no interest in maintaining any specific result due to the leaderboard.

Corners market betting suggestions

Although the sample is still small, and therefore less accurate, due to the tournament being in the initial rounds, it is already possible to have an average of corners won by these teams. Adding the number of corner shots of these two teams, we reach an average of 5 per game.

Cards market betting suggestions

It is also challenging to get a precise average about the number of cards that the teams receive during the matches; however, so far, Fénix has received 37 yellow cards and 1 red in 15 matches contested. At the same time, River Plate was cautioned with yellow cards in 41 opportunities and red 3 times in 15 games.

Score market betting suggestions

A good betting parameter could be the number of goals scored and conceded by both teams at the start of the championship round. Fénix didn't score any goal in the last round of games and conceded in 17 opportunities, while River Plate scored 20 times and conceded 25 goals as well.
