Estudiantes vs Central Cordoba: Team News and Expert Analysis
The La Plata club did not shine in the 2025 regular championships, ultimately finishing fifteenth. However, they managed to win the Clausura playoffs and claimed another title! Afterwards, they started the new season well, suffering their first defeat only against Velez Sarsfield in March. They also failed to earn points against Lanus, but in the last round, they defeated Gimnasia Mendoza away.
The team from Santiago del Estero collected the same 42 points as their current opponent last season, finishing fourteenth. They started off mediocre this time: already knocked out of the cup after losing to Gimnasia de Jujuy on penalties, and winning only a handful of games in the Primera. However, they did beat Deportivo Riestra in the most recent round.
The Clausura champion averages just 0.9 goals scored per game, but concedes only 0.5. Iacobellis and his teammates score 0.5 goals per match and concede an average of 0.70.
