This is a favorable condition for the Argentine representative to continue to show high performance in this tournament.

Latest football commentary River Plate vs Monterrey
River Plate opened the tournament impressively with a 3-1 victory over Urawa Red Diamonds. Although they did not play very well in terms of technical indicators, the Argentine representative showed outstanding spirit when making the most of the opportunities they had. This once again affirmed the class and efficiency of the team that owns a 19-match unbeaten streak in all competitions.
Monterrey are not easy to play against either. The 1-1 draw against Inter Milan in the first round was an encouraging result for coach Domenec Torrent and his team. They showed solid defense, especially in the second half. However, Monterrey's weakness is their lack of consistency when playing away from home, with 2 losses in the last 6 away matches.
In terms of head-to-head history, River Plate is dominating with 1 win and 1 draw in two meetings with Monterrey, most recently a friendly match in January 2024 that ended with a score of 1-1. However, this reunion will have greater significance as it directly affects the chance of advancing to the 2025 Club World Cup.
In terms of form, River Plate is more stable with a series of 5 recent unbeaten matches (3 wins, 2 draws), while Monterrey is somewhat erratic (2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses in the last 5 matches). However, Monterrey has a squad of players with high potential to cause change and can make the match unpredictable.
Both teams have effective attacks but often do not keep clean sheets. Therefore, the match is likely to be balanced and dramatic with goals divided equally between both sides.
