Betting on Estudiantes de La Plata
The Pincha obtained a valuable victory last Saturday against Godoy Cruz, in Mendoza, by a 1-0 score. The victory was not due to the opponent the team faced, but rather because of the impact rumors had on the mood of a team that had not won until that week.
To prepare for the match against Sarmiento, the players trained at the Country Club of City Bell, and one of the good news is that central defender Ezequiel Muñoz, who underwent a knee cleaning out a month ago, returned to work normally. Meanwhile, Guido Carrillo and Mauro Méndez did kinesiology work, and the former one is still not confirmed for the starting lineup against Sarmiento.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Mariano Andújar; Eros Mancuso, Jorge Rodríguez, Luciano Lollo and Emmanuel Más; Fernando Zuqui and Santiago Ascacibar; Benjamín Rollheiser, Mauro Méndez and Pablo Piatti; and Guido Carrillo or Mauro Boselli.
Betting on Sarmiento
Sarmiento de Junín has just lost its last match against San Lorenzo, 1-0. Despite the defeat, Israel Damonte’s team could have forced an equalizer after Lisandro López missed a one-on-one against Augusto Batalla.
In that match, the team had 13 shots on goal, five of which posed real danger, and it had 46% of ball possession. Like Saturday’s opponent, the team has four points out of a possible 12.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Sebastian Meza; Gonzalo Bettini, Juan Manuel Insaurralde, Franco Sbuttoni, Manuel García; Jean Pierre Rosso, Fernando Martínez, Emiliano Méndez; Lisandro López, Javier Toledo and Luciano Gondou.
JefeBet Prediction
The history of Estudiantes vs Sarmiento indicates that they have met 10 times, of which Estudiantes won six times and Sarmiento only once.
Abel Balbo’s team has found it difficult to be superior at home, and there is no doubt that the team from Junín will not be an easy opponent. However, at JefeBet we believe that the victory will go to the home team.
Prediction: Estudiantes wins 2-1.
