Head-to-Head
Estudiantes de La Plata have won the last 2 meetings between these sides and were 1-0 winners at home to Deportivo Riestra five months ago in the Apertura 2026, so there's every chance that Alexander Medina 's side can maintain that recent superiority on Sunday.
Deportivo Riestra
- Deportivo have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5 in all competitions and come into this matchup after back-to-back defeats.
- Deportivo Riestra have scored 4 goals in total in their 3 Liga Profesional - Clausura 2026 matches.
- Guillermo Duro has been in charge since 5 April 2026 and his side are a compact, pragmatic group that play direct with a real focus on set pieces and counters.
Estudiantes de La Plata
- Estudiantes are 15th in the Liga Profesional - Clausura 2026 with 3 points from 2 matches, while their hosts are 14th with 3 points from 3 matches.
- Medina took the reins at Estudiantes on 23 February 2026 and his 4-2-3-1 system is more about coordinated pressing, tidy buildup and half-space overloads.
- Estudiantes bounced back from a 0-2 home loss to Independiente with a 3-0 success at La Plata against Defensa y Justicia in their most recent fixture, so they will arrive with a fresher form edge.
Key Players
- Ezequiel Piovi has 1 goal in 2 games in the Liga Profesional - Clausura 2026.
- Eric Meza has contributed 1 assist in 2 matches.
- Alexander Díaz has 1 goal in 3 games in this Clausura for Riestra.
- Tomás González has contributed 2 of their 6 goals in the last 5 matches overall.
Betting Insights
- The odds are slightly in favour of Estudiantes at 2.48, while Riestra's odds are 3.45 with the draw at 2.66.
- A low-scoring angle also fits the game, with under 2.5 goals at 1.25 and both teams to score: No at 1.4.
- There is also a suggestion of a double chance for Medina's side (odds-on).
Prediction
We believe Medina 's team are more likely to have the edge on the day in what should be a cagey, tight game.
