San Martin Prediction
San Martin San Juan dropped down to 23rd place on the Superliga ladder following a heavy 4-0 defeat at home to 4th placed Boca Juniors during the week, so San Juan manager, Ruben Forestello will be demanding a better showing this time around when they play host to 18th placed Estudiantes at their Estadio Ingeniero Hilario Sánchez.
Prior to that defeat, San Martin had been in the matches in recent times, losing by the odd goal to Rosario Central and Racing Club in 1-0 losses which were both actually away from home. They’ve also secured a 2-0 home win over Union as well as picking up a point against Banfield in a 1-1 draw on their travels.
At home, San Martin are the atypical inconsistent side as their home record of 3-0-4 8/11 indicates; the hosts have alternated between wins and defeats at home this season, but they have beaten Estudiantes in the last two league meetings between these two clubs, winning 1-0 and 3-2 at home.
- San Martin have beaten Estudiantes in the last 2 league meetings at home
- Estudiantes have won just 2 away matches from their last 15
- Estudiantes have kept just 1 clean sheet on the road this season
Estudiantes Prediction
Onto Estudiantes and they currently occupy 18th place having extended their run without a win in the Argentinian Superliga to six matches last time out when they suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Velez Sarsfield.
Recent draws against Colon, Defensa y Justicia, Lanus and San Lorenzo haven’t been enough to prevent the visitors from slipping down the table due to losses against Rosario Central and the aforementioned Velez Sarsfield.
An away record of 1-3-4 7/9 have seen the visitors record just one away win all season and that was at mid-table Banfield with a 2-0 win back at the end of October. The bigger picture shows us that Estudiantes have won just 2 of their last 15 matches on their travels, so this could be a tough outing for them here.
Betting Tips Verdict
San Martin will be confident they can get something from this match as they’ve won the last two encounters at home against Estudiantes, while with just one clean sheet on the road, Estudiantes look to have their work cut out here.
