Copa Libertadores betting and spectator preview: River Plate and Colo-Colo meet at Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
Colo-Colo have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
This should be an engaging game with lots of fun and excitement as both contenders are well renewed since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's start!
