Central Córdoba vs Estudiantes — Quick Tips
- Main Pick: Estudiantes DNB (Draw No Bet) — odds 2.01
Match preview
Central Córdoba earned a dramatic 2–1 win over San Lorenzo thanks to a 91st‑minute goal from José Florentín. That result extended El Ferroviario’s unbeaten run in the Torneo Clausura to seven matches (three wins, four draws) and keeps them four matches without defeat at Estadio Madre de Ciudades. Leonardo Heredia is back after missing the previous game for personal reasons.
Estudiantes produced a big surprise last weekend, beating Rosario Central 1–0 away with a first‑half goal from Edwin Cetré. The win stopped a run of three straight defeats and should lift the visitors’ confidence. They have recent absentees: Santiago Núñez is injured, Mikel Amondarain is suspended after a red card and Guido Carrillo still has matches to serve. Santiago Ascacíbar has returned from suspension and is available.
Why we like Estudiantes DNB
- Form & momentum: Estudiantes arrive off a morale‑boosting away win against the season’s best team. Confidence from that result matters in knockout scenarios.
- Central Córdoba’s narrow escape: The hosts’ last win featured late controversy and key refereeing decisions — they were not dominant and may struggle to reproduce that exact edge.
- Squad availability: Estudiantes have selection issues up front (Núñez injured, Amondarain suspended, Carrillo still out), but their midfield balance is improved with Ascacíbar back, which helps control games and limit risks.
- Value of DNB: Draw No Bet removes the draw risk and offers decent odds (2.01). Given Estudiantes’ away confidence and Central Córdoba’s fortunate recent result, DNB is a pragmatic choice.
Short summary
Central Córdoba are hard to write off at home, but their latest win was far from convincing. Estudiantes look sharper after beating the league’s top side away and should be confident heading into this tie. For a balance of value and reduced risk, the recommendation is:
