A 4-0 defeat last time out would normally see alarm bells ringing, but given Union played a team on fire in Velez, a few allowances will be awarded, but that will not last long if they do not improve here. Juan Portillo coming in for the suspended Franco Calderon may be a blessing in disguise for the hosts given the latter's poor showings in recent weeks. The former is a much more commanding operator. Five goals in nine appearances from wide man Manuel Castro has been a difference maker for Estudiantes. Expect him to net here if the visitors are to pick up the three points. While Castro will get the headlines, Fabian Noguera has been the solid, intelligent presence in the backline that has allowed the visitors to retain a solid shape when dispossessed taking risks. 1:2
