Platense vs Estudiantes Prediction 18.10.2023

• Competition: Copa de Liga Profesional
• Date: 18.10.2023
• Kickoff: 23:00 UTC +1 / 00:00 CEST 
• Venue: Estadio Ciudad de Vicente Lopez (Buenos Aires)

Out of the initial 14 clubs that participated in the Copa de Liga Professional, only four will earn a spot in the playoffs. It is evident that a number of teams have already been eliminated from contention.

Estudiantes La Plata is likely one of those teams, as they have only won once out of the 8 matches they have played. Their loss against Godoy Cruz in the previous round could have serious consequences, as Estudiantes now find themselves 6 points behind Godoy, who currently holds 4th place in the table.

Platense initially struggled with a couple of poor outcomes in the competition. However, their performance saw a remarkable improvement later on. In their recent three matches, they emerged victorious twice, accumulating a total of 11 points. This places them in the group of teams just below the playoff line. With their determination, they are set to fight until the very end to secure this achievement.

Platense vs Estudiantes LP pick UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Platense’s matches in this mini league have been surprisingly effective, with a total of 19 goals in 8 matches, averaging about 2.3 goals per match. On the other hand, Estudiantes has one of the lowest goal-scoring records, with only 12 goals in their matches, averaging about 1.5 goals per match.

In three out of the four previous head-to-head matches between these teams, only two or fewer goals were scored. Therefore, it is expected that this upcoming match will follow a similar pattern with a slower pace and limited opportunities for goals. Betting on there being under 2.5 goals seems like a promising option.
