Estudiantes vs Central Cordoba

Tip: Estudiantes -1 @ 1.97

Estudiantes returned to winning ways midweek, coming from behind to beat Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza 2-1 thanks to a brace from Tiago Palacios. That victory ended a two-match losing run and moved them up the Group A table. Despite that, Estudiantes have struggled recently at home, losing their last two matches at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi (1-0 defeats to Velez Sarsfield and Lanus).

Central Cordoba are steadying their season. A late first-half goal from Ezequiel Naya gave them a 1-0 win over Deportivo Riestra, and the side have picked up points in most of their recent fixtures (only one loss in five league games: two wins and two draws). However, their away form is a major concern — they have not won in their last six away league matches (three draws and three defeats).

Verdict: Estudiantes are inconsistent but still clearly stronger at squad level and have the home advantage. Central Cordoba’s poor away record makes it unlikely they will overcome a motivated Estudiantes side. Back Estudiantes to win by at least two goals (Handicap -1).

Huracan vs Barracas Central

Tip: Barracas Central +0.75 @ 1.81

Huracan were held to a 0-0 draw with Aldosivi and continue to produce mixed results: only one win in their last five league matches alongside two draws and two defeats. They have also lost recent home matches and will be missing two important players — top scorer Jordy Caicedo (suspended) and goalkeeper Hernan Galindez (on international duty) — which weakens both their attacking threat and defensive stability.

Barracas Central arrive in good form after a 2-1 home win over Atletico Tucuman. That result extended their unbeaten streak to four league games (three wins and a draw) and moved them into the playoff positions for Group B. Confidence is up and they have shown they can grind out results away from pressure fixtures.

Verdict: With Huracan missing key personnel and recent form patchy, Barracas Central look well placed to avoid defeat. The +0.75 Asian handicap gives a safety cushion (half the stake returned on a one-goal loss), making this a sensible risk-managed selection.
