Estudiantes (home)
- Estudiantes have won three of their five home fixtures in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 but have fallen off in their last three at home, losing twice.
- Estudiantes de la Plata are favored at 1.61 for this Monday’s home match against 7.4 long shots Central Cordoba De Santiago.
- The two sides have very different records after ten games of the 2026 Apertura campaign with Estudiantes in fifth spot on 18 points while Cordoba are languishing in 20th with only 12.
- Medina has done a good job since taking over in February 2026, adding a more direct and dynamic element to the possession-based style of Estudiantes.
- They are just as capable of hurting teams when they get the ball down and controlling the tempo as they are when they stretch a defense with their quick, dynamic players.
Central Cordoba De Santiago (away)
- Central Cordoba De Santiago are winless in five away league games, drawing twice and scoring just once.
- The visitors, coached by Pusineri since December 2025, have a different way of approaching games with a more compact, less risk-taking style.
- The coach has built a team that is defensively solid and can disrupt the opposition’s flow by pressing selectively, hitting their stride from set pieces and using their pacy forwards on the counter-attack.
- Cordoba’s best chance of getting something in this game will come if they can make it a chess match and frustrate the home team, who will look to control.
Betting Insights
But the value lies with the hosts, who will win it if they play as well as they can, and our main selection is 'Both teams to score - No' at 1.48 .
Prediction
- The students are clear favorites for this game and may well earn their win, but they have slipped up at home in recent home matches and Cordoba are gritty opponents who will give them a tough time.
- So this will probably be tighter than the oddsmakers are suggesting.
