Form Guide — Last 5
Estudiantes L.P.
Estudiantes’ recent form includes a 4‑0 home thrashing of Gimnasia L.P., showing they can dominate when they’re on the front foot, and a 0‑0 draw at home against Newell’s Old Boys, highlighting defensive resilience. Those results confirm a capacity to both score and keep a clean sheet, supporting the win pick.
Platense
Platense’s last five feature a 1‑0 away win over Independiente and a 2‑1 away victory at Barracas Central, indicating they can pick up points on the road, but a 0‑1 away loss to Defensa Y Justicia and a 1‑1 home draw against Deportivo Riestra reveal inconsistency that weakens their claim for a win here.
Head-to-Head
In the head‑to‑head record, Estudiantes have won two of the last five meetings, most recently a 2‑0 victory, which aligns with the model’s win probability for them.
