Head-to-head statistics Estudiantes - Sarmiento

Estudiantes Rio Cuarto Team Overview
Estudiantes Río Cuarto go into matchday eight sitting 13th in their group. Across their last ten matches, they have won just once, drawn three times and lost six. Their attack has been particularly poor in that run, averaging only 0.4 goals scored per game while conceding 1.2. With that kind of output, it is hard for Estudiantes to compensate even for a relatively solid defensive display, and facing one of the group's leading sides makes this a serious test.

Sarmiento Junin Team Overview
Sarmiento sit third and come into this match in considerably better form. In their last ten matches, they have won five, averaging 1.4 goals scored and 1.8 conceded per game. Their attacking consistency is noticeably stronger than their defensive record: they have scored in 12 of their previous 13 matches. Away from home the picture is even more telling - they have conceded in 13 consecutive matches, so even from a strong current position they regularly give opponents chances at their end.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
The bookmakers see no clear favourite for this match, largely giving Estudiantes Río Cuarto their chances on the strength of home advantage. However, the hosts have been far from impressive so far, while Sarmiento have had a much better Clausura campaign and sit considerably higher in the table, which is no more than they deserve. Even away from home, the visitors look the more attractive option in this fixture. Our pick is Sarmiento - Handicap (0).
