River Plate vs. Monterrey Betting Odds and Free Pick

Day 2 of the Group Stage of the Club World Cup 2025 is already underway, where River Plate will be looking for a way to score a victory against Monterrey and thus be much closer to the Round of 16.

As we have mentioned on several occasions, this tournament is similar to a World Cup, so two teams from each group will advance directly to the Round of 16 of the Club World Cup 2025.

While we have witnessed several surprises, we have seen that other favorite teams have managed to display their best level to take victories.

River Plate comes from a win over Urawa Red Diamonds, where the Millonarios team dominated early, with goals from Facundo Colidio, Sebastian Driussi, and Maximiliano Meza. Urawa pulled one back via penalty to end the clash 3-1.

Monterrey, on the other hand, opened with a 1-1 draw against Inter Milan, with Sergio Ramos scoring on debut.

Why Bet on River Plate?

River Plate was one of the teams that got off to the best start in the 2025 Club World Cup. The Argentine team demonstrated a remarkably high level of play against the Urawa Reds, winning with a comfortable 3-1 score and thus becoming, for now, the leaders of Group E.

River indeed had an easy game in this debut, but it is necessary to start with victories. Now, they have the opportunity to seal their ticket to the next stage of the tournament with a win against Monterrey on the second Matchday.

It will also be difficult for them to play as freely as they did in their first match, as Rayados played extraordinarily well against Inter Milan.

Why Bet on Monterrey?

On the other hand, we have the Rayados of Monterrey, a team that gave a pleasant surprise at the beginning of the tournament, as they achieved an exceptional 1-1 draw against Inter Milan, the current runners-up of the Champions League.

Monterrey played toe-to-toe with the second-best team in Europe this season, giving them impressive credit. However, River is a completely different team in every way, so they will have to adjust their plan to try to have a chance to get their first win of the tournament.

This is the most important game for Monterrey, considering they should win on Matchday three against the Urawa Reds.
