Estudiantes de la Plata
- Estudiantes de la Plata are currently 2nd in Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 on 27pts from 14 matches, while Talleres de Cordoba are 7th on 24pts.
- Estudiantes have won five of their seven home matches in Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026, scoring an average of 1.57 goals per game and conceding 0.57 goals per game.
- Estudiantes de la Plata, on a three-game winning streak in all competitions, edged Union Santa Fe 2-1 at home before beating Instituto de Cordoba 1-0 away.
- Alexander Medina’s Estudiantes have been defensively solid, compact, and structured since he took over in February 2026, whilst his side’s verticality in transition has made them extremely efficient in the final third.
Talleres de Cordoba
- These two sides are on a run of similar form, each recording three wins, one draw, and one defeat in their last five matches, and are coming into this game after recent wins.
- Talleres de Cordoba defeated Defensa y Justicia away before thrashing Deportivo Riestra at home.
- Carlos Tévez has made Talleres an even more aggressive and physical team since taking over, playing with an attack-first mentality and creating a high-tempo, direct style of play.
Head-to-Head
Talleres are yet to win away to Estudiantes in their recent history, so the home field advantage should be enough to edge out the visitors in what should be a close game.
Betting Insights
- Given their form at home and both sides’ form overall, the odds of 2.21 on the hosts look more favorable than the 3.61 on Talleres or 2.96 on the draw.
- I expect both managers to have their teams well set up for this contest, and as a result, the ‘Both teams to score - No’ market at 1.63 seems a good fit.
Key Players
- Estudiantes are led in the league by Argentine international Adolfo Gaich, who has three goals in eight appearances in Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026.
- Valentín Davila has four goals in 13 games for Talleres.
- Tiago Palacios has two of their last six goals and has added a different dimension to their attacking play.
- Augusto Schott has chipped in with two goals in Talleres’ last five, proving a thorn in defenders’ sides recently.
Prediction
The home advantage and Estudiantes’ form make Estudiantes the likely edge in a tight game, with a close scoreline expected.
