Estudiantes to Win
There is a 48% chance for Estudiantes to win this game in return for Central’s 25%. In addition, Estudiantes lost one of their last 12 home games while Central have one win in their last four away games.
Over 2 Goals
The last four meetings between Estudiantes and Central Cordoba produced over two goals. Likewise, Estudiantes’ last four home games and Central’s last three away games, saw the same number of goals.
Estudiantes to Score First
In three of their six games this season, Estudiantes were the first scorers. On the other side, Central conceded first on four of six occasions. Also, in the last two h2h meetings, Estudiantes opened the scoring.
With their last round defeat at Arsenal Sarandi by 2-1, Estudiantes extended their losing streak to three in the Liga Profesional. Moreover, the Lions scored just two goals in those three defeats while conceding six. Looking at the statistics of the last three matches though, Estudiantes played very well.
To explain, the Lions had more ball possession than their opponents in all three games and even created more chances than the other teams. However, coach Zielinki’s team just failed to convert those chances and as a result, lost nine points in the process.
Central Cordoba’s position is not better off than their hosts as they also have seven points from six games. In their last match, the Railroads lost at home to Argentinos Juniors by 1-2 and failed to build on their previous win away to Talleres.
In 2019 Central won promotion to the Primera Divison after a 48-year absence and they are content to keep their position in the top flight. Coach Sergio Rodina has some adjustments to do though with his team especially in defense as they let in two goals in each of their last two home games.
Considering the last two meetings between these two clubs which is 2-0 in favor of Estudiantes, the bookies are favoring the hosts with the win in this match. We think the hosts have what it takes to bounce back and grab all three points.
