⭐ Editor's Pick
The bookmakers aren't pointing to a clear favourite here, and it's easy to see why: Estudiantes Rio Cuarto have home advantage, while Banfield have the stronger squad. That said, the visitors have a real problem away from home. In 23 of their last 24 away league matches, they've conceded - so the hosts have a decent chance to exploit that weakness. The most logical bet is Estudiantes to score. Predicted score: 1-1.
