1st Half Draw (+105)

Inter Milan recorded just two shots on target in their 1-1 draw against Monterrey in the group stage opener and needed two late second-half goals to beat Urawa Reds their last time out. The Italian side hasn't looked dangerous in the attacking third, and they likely won't see many scoring opportunities early in this match as River Plate is likely to deploy a disciplined defensive game plan. River Plate held Monterrey to just two shots on target in the 0-0 draw, and the only goal they've conceded thus far in this tournament has been a penalty in the 3-1 win over Urawa Reds.

Under 2.5 goals (-105)

"With first place going to the victor, I expect both teams to come out with a defensive game plan and looking to score on the counterattack," Sutton told SportsLine. "That fits right into River Plate's style of play. The Argentine side tends to concede possession and put 11 men behind the ball until the opposition makes a costly mistake. River Plate played to a 0-0 draw against Monterrey their last time out, and I'm expecting the majority of this match to be played in the middle of the pitch, which is why I'm backing Under 2.5 goals."

Under 2.5 goals is listed at -105 at FanDuel Sportsbook, and new users can get $150 in bonus bets if their first $5 bet wins with this FanDuel promo code.
