The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the Primera Division tournament (home team - Sarmiento Junin, away team - Estudiantes de La Plata). The match concluded with a scoreline of 2:0.

Here's the game statistics (Estudiantes de La Plata vs Sarmiento Junin):

Estudiantes La Plata comfortably saw off Rosario Central 3-0 in the previous round back in May, before the Clausura had even kicked off. They currently sit 13th in their group with six points, though their recent form tells a more positive story than the table suggests: across their last ten matches, Estudiantes have won five, drawn one and lost four, averaging 1.5 goals scored and just 0.8 conceded per game. That kind of defensive solidity gives them a reasonable platform in knockout football, where discipline and reliability at the back tend to matter most.

The away team played their last official match on as part of the Primera Division tournament (home team - Barracas Central, away - Platense). The match concluded with a scoreline of 1:2.

Here are the match stats (Barracas Central vs Platense):

• ball possession: 45% vs 55%;
• corner kicks: 4 vs 4;
• fouls: 18 vs 10;
• yellow cards: 4 vs 1;
• shots on target: 6 vs 7.

Barracas Central's previous cup match also took place before the Clausura began - they beat Huracán 1-0 in early June. The visitors currently sit seventh with nine points, above their opponents in the table, but recent form has been inconsistent. Across their last ten matches, Barracas Central have won four and lost six, averaging just 0.6 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per game. That lack of attacking output means they tend to rely on cautious, low-scoring performances and narrow margins - an approach that worked for them in the previous round.
