Estudiantes de la Plata Preview
Estudiantes has a new coach for 2023, legendary striker Abel Balbo, who received very good news during the break. The board of directors has added several new faces. The most notable is attacker Guido Carrillo, from China, and midfielder Santiago Ascacíbar, from Italy’s Cremonese after a fruitful spell in German soccer, where he was an undisputed starter at Stuttgart and Hertha Berlin.
Last week, the team from La Plata played its last friendly match before the start of the Professional League. It was at Estadio Uno and in addition to presenting the 2023 squad, they defeated Independiente del Valle of Ecuador 2-0, with goals from newcomer Ascacíbar and Franco Zapiola.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Mariano Andújar, Leonardo Godoy, Santiago Núñez, Zaid Romero, Leonardo Mas, Benjamín Rollheiser, Santiago Ascacíbar, Jorge Rodríguez, Matías Godoy, Mauro Boselli, Guido Carrillo (doubtful).
Tigre Preview
The team from the northern area of the province of Buenos Aires was reinforced with big names to improve the 2022 campaign, in which it finished 7th with 43 units. The arrival of reinforcements did not stop, and this last week they incorporated the talented midfielder Aaron Molinas from Boca Juniors.
In preparation for the match against Estudiantes, Tigre scheduled a friendly match against Independiente, in Avellaneda. The result was not good, as the starters lost 2-0, while the substitutes lost 3-0.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Gonzalo Marinelli, Martín Ortega, Brian Leizza, Sebastián Prediger, Sebastián Prieto, Cristian Zabala, Agustín Baldi, Alexis Castro, Facundo Colidio, Ijiel Protti, Mateo Retegui.
JefeBet Prediction
The two teams met 76 times, with Tigre winning on 21 occasions and Estudiantes on 41 of their meetings. Both clubs that will undoubtedly be the talk of the town this year will face each other. Due to their home advantage and the level of its squad, at JefeBet we believe that Estudiantes will win.
Prediction: Estudiantes wins 2-1.
