Central Cordoba climbed out of the relegation zone after beating San Lorenzo 4-1 away in one of the most important victories in the club’s history, with Lisandro Alzugaray netting a brace. Gustavo Coleoni’s men made it 11 points after two consecutive successes that stopped a three-game losing run. They have been confident in Santiago del Estero, managing seven points from 12 available. El Ferroviario beat Estudiantes 1-0 in the Copa Argentina’s quarter-finals on Wednesday 16.
Meanwhile, Estudiantes continue edging closer the bottom three in the points average table. They are only four points above Patronato and Rosario Central following their 0-0 home draw with Huracan. The team earned ten points this term and only four of those were collected across the last six games (one win, one draw and four defeats). Besides, El Pincha lost all four matches on away turf. They had Copa Argentina action a few days later, beating third-level squad Estudiantes San Luis on penalties, and will face lost 1-0 to Central Cordoba on Wednesday 16 in the quarter-finals.
Completely different momentum for this two teams, while Central Cordoba comes from two huge wins, Estudiantes is just about to change coach if they can’t find a few wins in a row. They met just a few days ago in neutral ground for the Copa Argentina QFs where Central Cordoba won 1-0, so I definitely have to go with the hosts at this odds here.
