Central Cordoba – Estudiantes

CA Central Cordoba continue to produce an excellent campaign in the Copa Liga Profesional. Last Sunday, they secured a massive point following a 1-1 away draw at Racing Club, with Mateo Sanabria netting the equaliser in the 90th minute. El Ferroviario are unbeaten in their last seven matches in this competition (winning three and drawing four), which allows them to stay into the playoff zone in group B on 19 points and to have secured their top-flight status for next season. At home, Central collected ten points from the last 12 on offer.

Estudiantes played one of their best matches in the Copa Liga Profesional and secured a highly celebrated 2-1 home success over Defensa y Justicia thanks to goals from Franco Zapiola and Fernando Zuqui. El Pincha made it three league matches unbeaten (winning two and drawing one) to accumulate 13 points in group B, which keeps them into the continental zone in the aggregate table and still fighting for a Copa Libertadores ticket. On a sorry note, Estudiantes managed five points from 18 available on away turf, having won one, drawn two and lost three so far.

Central Cordoba can both secure their place in the 1st division for next year and also a playoff spot with a win, they’ve been strong at home and solid overall with a 7 undefeated games streak and they should beat this irregular Estudiantes that won’t have importante players like defender Luciano Lollo, playmaker Jose Sosa and midfielder Santiago Ascacibar all due to injury.
