Independiente – Estudiantes: Soccer Prediction of the Day

Independiente has always been a team that has fought for the top half of the standings, which it does now, when it comes to the 13th stage of the 7th place with 22 points. Defense is its strong point, winning eight goals so far, which allows it to have +5 over the goal. Winning the Copa Sudamericana last season, Independiente is unbeaten in a four-month championship match, then crashed 0-1 on the Godoy Cruz pitch. Also, his good performance extended to home matches, where he managed to win two victories and equal results in the last four duels, for which he got 11 tall pockets of the 18 possible maximums, in matches held in front of their supporters.

Estudiantes is also a team of cups, managing to not show this until now, and this is reflected in the 14th place it has now, thanks to the 17 points. However, in the last stage suffered the fifth failure of this season, 0-1 in front of champion Boca Juniors. That’s why it is part of the teams that can always produce surprised in front of a modest adversary, and that was also seen in the matches played away, where Estudiantes managed to get seven points, although four of them five confrontations ended with no more than two goals.

For eight years, Estudiantes has not been forced into the Independiente field, and given that the hosts are better off and engaged in the fight for the Copa Libertadores, I expect to have a match at the discretion of the hosts to score the first goal on the table.
