Estudiantes vs Central Córdoba SdE

Estudiantes welcome Central Cordoba to La Plata on Monday night looking to snap a two-game home losing streak. The defending champions sit 5th with 18 points from ten matches, while the visitors languish down in 20th on just 12 — this should be a chance for the hosts to right the ship. Tiago Palacios has been the key man for Estudiantes, netting both goals in a 2-1 win at Gimnasia Mendoza last time out. Central Cordoba arrive with a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Riestra under their belt, with midfielder Leandro Maciel chipping in with crucial goals in recent weeks. Pablo Piatti remains sidelined with an ACL injury for the hosts, while the visitors are missing Enzo Kalinski and Luis Rodriguez. Veteran striker Lucas Gamba will need to lead the line for a Central Cordoba attack that has managed just five league goals all season. Estudiantes' home form is shaky, but the quality gap should tell in the end. Our prediction: 1-0
