Estudiantes – Central Cordoba
Estudiantes de La Plata bounced back from their recent dip in form on Tuesday night, coming from behind in the second half to defeat Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza 2–1 away from home, with a brace from their standout player Tiago Palacios. El Pincha put an end to their two-match losing streak and climbed to second place in Group A with 18 points. On the downside, Estudiantes have lost their last two matches at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi —both 1–0 defeats to Vélez Sarsfield and Lanús.
CA Central Córdoba continue to grow with small but steady steps. On Tuesday night, in a hard-fought and tightly contested match, the team managed by Lucas Pusineri defeated Deportivo Riestra 1–0 thanks to a goal from Ezequiel Naya late in the first half. El Ferroviario picked up three crucial points to move away from the bottom and reached 12 in Group A, having lost just one of their last five league matches —two wins and two draws—. On the downside, Central Córdoba are winless in their last six away matches —three draws and three defeats—.
Estudiantes are on an irregular moment but their rivals have been the strong Velez and Lanus. Central Cordoba are nowhere them so I expect Estudiantes to bounce back and get a win at home.
