Estudiantes L.P. vs Independiente
📖 The Preview
Estudiantes are right in the thick of a title race here, which gives them every reason to push hard at home, and their recent form backs that up nicely. Independiente have been inconsistent, with losses creeping into their last ten, and away from home against a motivated side fighting for the championship, that tends to get exposed. The head-to-head is fairly even historically, but the gap in current ambition feels decisive. Expect Estudiantes to control this, keep a clean sheet, and nick a couple to make it 2-0.
