The quarterfinals of the Copa de la Liga Profesional showed the reality of Argentine soccer: parity is the common denominator, and it is expected that the semifinals will also end up being tight matches.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Godoy Cruz and Platense will play the duel of the surprises, looking to pull off the upset and lift a title of relevance for their history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, River Plate, the great candidate, will face Rosario Central, which overcame Racing in a tight match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Undoubtedly, the winner between the ‘Millonarios’ and the ‘Canallas’ will be the big favorite due to their history and current squads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, in the match against Platense in the round robin, they won 2-0, with goals by Pier Barrios and Ignacio V\u00e1squez (against), so they will be looking to repeat the dose.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Few expected anything from Platense in this tournament, but they managed to qualify for the semifinals. In the previous round, they drew 1-1 with Hurac\u00e1n, who started as favorites and ended up qualifying on penalties (4-2). <\/p>\n\n\n\n The ‘Calamar’ forced a penalty shootout with a goal by Luciano Ferreyra at 88′ and then achieved 100% effectiveness in the penalty kicks. Goalkeeper Ramiro Macagno was the figure, saving two shots. Mart\u00edn Palermo’s men have scored only 14 goals in the tournament, the lowest number among all the semifinalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday, December 9 at 8:00 p.m. ET in Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Moneyline odds: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n River Plate -136 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rosario Central +400<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Draw Offs<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n +254 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Where Can I Watch? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n TyC Sports Internacional<\/a>, Paramount+<\/a>, ViX<\/a>, and Fanatiz USA\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nGodoy Cruz vs. Platense<\/strong> Betting Pick: Godoy Cruz<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
