Estudiantes vs Racing
After their promising debut, Estudiantes secured a valuable 0-0 draw on the road against Huracan, despite being outplayed and suffering a first-half red card. With this result, Eduardo Domínguez’s team have now collected four points from two Torneo Apertura matches, keeping them near the top of Group A. Overall, El Pincha are unbeaten in five league games (two wins and three draws) and have lost just once in their last nine home matches in this competition, winning three and drawing five. Left back Gastón Benedetti is suspended for Monday after receiving a red card in the previous match.
Racing Club remains among the best teams in Argentina at the start of the season. Last Thursday, the team showed great efficiency to overcome a tough challenge, defeating Belgrano 4-0 at home with a stellar performance from their top scorer, Adrián Martínez, who netted a brace. La Academia is one of the leaders of Group A with six points and have now recorded three consecutive league victories. Moreover, Racing won four of their last five away matches in this competition, losing only one.
Once again I’m going for the OVER in a Racing game. They’ve been amazing in attack, all their strikers have been scoring in the first two rounds and Estudiantes is a solid team that can hurt them as well.
