River Plate - El Tanque Sisley

Uruguay Primera Division, Clausura

Just one small bet for today, as I can't really find any other solid bets, nor any value. The Clausura tournament in Uruguay is coming to a close, with just 3 matches remaining, and even though Defensor look set to clinch the final spot, there are still plenty of objectives to play for. One of them is the qualification for Copa Sudamericana (as the Libertadores places have already been 'arrested' by the 3 big guns), and we have 4 teams fighting for 3 spots. And today, from those teams, River seems to have the easiest match, as they will take on a team that will just wait patiently for the holidays to come. With 72 points in the relegation table, El Tanque Sisley are safe, even mathematically, and without any other objectives in mind, I don't think they'll give too much in the remaining 3 rounds. Also their game is not impressive at all, so they shouldn't pose many problems to the other teams that are still fighting for something. About River, we can't say they are a really strong team, but they did make some recent improvements lately, winning 3 of their last 5 matches (the other 2 were a draw with Danubio, and a narrow loss to Penarol). A win today will put them back into contention for a Sudamericana place (they are currently 3 points behind the last qualification spot), so they definitely have something to play for. The odds went down a bit for them, but I still think the bet is worth playing, as El Tanque should pose little threat. GL!

River (-0.5 AH) @ 1.74, 4/10
Result: 4-0, WON
