Team News

Estudiantes
Independiente
  • Eight goals in two games and back-to-back 4-1 victories will likely see an unchanged side here.
  • Adrian Sporle will return from suspension here and likely return to his left back spot.
  • Alex Luna is suspended after his straight red card last time out.

Prediction

  • Selling a number of key assets has significantly weakened Estudiantes and with Eros Mancuso reportedly close to a switch to Fortaleza of Brazil, they will be weaker once more.
  • In spite of the squad changes, Estudiantes remain in touching distance of the top places with a four game unbeaten run.
  • Independiente are a side under pressure with Julio Vaccari's recent press conference outburst only adding to the question marks surrounding his time in charge thus far.
  • All eyes remain on wonderkid Santiago Lopez to be the difference maker when overall team performances haven't been at the level required for El Rojo.
