Aldosivi
- Aldosivi have taken just five points from their 11 Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 games, putting them in 29th position.
- Aldosivi have not won in their last five games (D2, L3), while their opponents are bottom of the standings and on a four-match losing streak(W1, L4) coming into the fixture.
- Aldosivi have drawn four and lost one of their five home fixtures in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026, while Estudiantes Rio Cuarto have been woeful away from home, losing all six of their matches on their travels since the new campaign began.
Estudiantes Rio Cuarto
- Estudiantes Rio Cuarto are in a bit of a crisis, and interim head coach Gerardo Acuña has looked to get the team to be compact and keep their structure in order since taking over the role.
- The 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 shape deployed by Acuña has been effective at getting the team to keep teams out but the side lack an attacking focal point.
Head-to-Head
Aldosivi and Estudiantes Rio Cuarto have drawn their last two meetings, with the latest meeting finishing 2-2 last year in the Primera Nacional 2024.
Key Players
- Both coaches face their first major test of their respective tenures and will be looking for a response from the squad.
- Neither side have been great in the final third, with Gabriel Alanis top-scoring for Estudiantes with just one goal in 10 appearances, while Aldosivi’s attacking threat comes from Federico Acevedo, who has also scored just twice in ten appearances in the 2026 Apertura.
- In-form Siro Rosane could provide Estudiantes with some creative spark in the match, notching one assist in eleven appearances in the 2026 Liga Profesional - Apertura, while Nicolas Zalazar could be the man to unlock the Estudiantes defence for Aldosivi, notching one assist in nine appearances this term.
Betting Insights
- 2.12 for the home team is an excellent price given their home form, but Estudiantes are also a great price at 3.7, with the draw coming in at 3.05, so the match odds appear skewed.
- The slight favorite Aldosivi will have more of the ball in the game and have conceded just three goals at home this season, so a cagey affair looks likely.
Prediction
Aldosivi have lost form at home and Estudiantes have lost their two previous away games, failing to score on either occasion, so we’re going to side with Damonte’s men to come out on top here.
