Est. La Plata vs Corinthians Prediction 10 September 2026
📢 One of the most interesting quarter-final ties in the Copa Libertadores will be the meeting between Estudiantes de La Plata and Corinthians. Argentina-Brazil encounters have traditionally been tense affairs, and at this stage of the competition the cost of every mistake increases significantly. Both sides have already shown they are capable of beating serious opponents, so the first leg could go a long way to setting the tone for the tie as a whole.
Head-to-Head
📊 Estudiantes La Plata and Corinthians have met just twice in official matches. Their most recent encounter took place on 30 August 2023 at Estudiantes La Plata's ground and ended 1-0.
Head-to-head statistics Est. La Plata - Corinthians
Estudiantes de La Plata Team Overview
Estudiantes have been far from impressive in the Clausura so far. They sit just 13th in their group of 15, having picked up seven points from eight matches. Their most recent outing brought no joy either - away from home, they were beaten 1-0 by Vélez Sarsfield, a result that accurately reflected what happened on the pitch. In the Copa Libertadores, though, things have gone considerably better. Estudiantes did advance from the group stage only as runners-up, but in the Round of 16 they came through comfortably against Universidad Católica. After a 1-1 draw at home, the Argentines won 3-0 in Chile. That result is particularly impressive given how rarely any side manages such a convincing away victory there.

Corinthians Team Overview
Corinthians have been going through a difficult spell of late. They come into this match on the back of three consecutive defeats, and last weekend they managed to lose at home to Chapecoense, going down 2-1. In terms of performance they deserved considerably more and arguably played well enough to win, but the scoreboard is what it is. Corinthians can at least be grateful that this poor run began after they had already come through the Round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. In the previous round their opponents were another Argentine side, Rosario Central, and it was far from straightforward. The first leg away ended 0-0, and in the home leg, with the score again level, Corinthians were reduced to ten men midway through the second half. Despite that, they still managed to score, win 1-0 and advance to the quarter-finals.

Total Goals Prediction
Eight consecutive matches involving Corinthians in the Copa Libertadores have produced under 2.5 goals. The season statistics also support a low-scoring outcome: Corinthians concede an average of just 0.5 goals per game, while Estudiantes La Plata concede 0.75. Neither side stands out for their attacking output either - Estudiantes La Plata average 1.25 goals per game and Corinthians 1.13. All of this points to a strong chance of a low-scoring match. This option is available at odds of 1.45*.
Reliable Bet
Corinthians have scored under 1.5 goals in six matches in a row. Their overall scoring rate this season is also low, averaging 1.13 goals per game. Combined with Estudiantes La Plata's low average of 0.75 goals conceded per match, the probability that the visitors will fail to score twice looks very high. This option is available at odds of 1.21*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Estudiantes are slight favourites for this match. However, betting on the result in a game between two sides who have both looked unconvincing recently is fairly risky. There are particular questions over the Argentine club's attack, and Corinthians are not exactly prolific at the moment either. Our main bet, therefore, is Total Goals - Under 2.5. We're expecting a 0-0 on the scoreboard.
