Estudiantes tasted Liga Profesional defeat for the first time this season against Independiente and will want to quickly bounce back here. There has been a lack of consistency for Estudiantes over the past eight matches in all competitions, with four defeats in that time - prior to that run they went 12 games unbeaten. Newell's Old Boys have made a positive start to Liga Profesional life with ten points from a possible 12 thus far. Despite the positive start, Newell's aren't the most proficient side in front of goal with just four in their opening four games - an unsustainable level should they wish to continue on a winning streak. 2:2
