Estudiantes vs San Lorenzo Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - June 19, 2023

Estudiantes vs San Lorenzo
Argentine Liga Profesional
Date: 21 June 2023, Wednesday
Kick-off at 23:00 UK / 00:00 CET
Venue: Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi (La Plata).

Estudiantes and San Lorenzo will meet each other in the first and also one of the most intriguing clashes of Matchday No 21 in Argentine Liga Profesional on Wednesday evening in La Plata.

The outfits sit right next to each other with just two points between them inside the top-four in the league table.

Estudiantes are winless in two straight games in all competitions as they suffered an undeserving 1-0 defeat at the hands of Colon eight days ago.

Nevertheless, head coach Eduardo Dominguez can be thrilled with the obvious improvements in the team’s displays compared to the last season when Estudiantes struggled down in the bottom half of the standings.

San Lorenzo, on the other side, continued with their series of goalless draws, playing their third straight such affair ten days ago against Central Cordoba.

It was the sixth goalless draw in the last ten matches San Lorenzo played in all competitions. The team own the best defensive record in the league by some distance with just 7 goals shipped in the inaugural 20 rounds.

The stern defensive line keeps Ruben Insua’s men at the high third position in the Liga Profesional ladder.

The manager can, however, be worried about the lack of proper attacking options in his ranks at the moment because San Lorenzo have failed to find the back of the net in four straight matches across competitions.

Also, the visitors are not doing great in Copa Sudamericana where they collected no more than five points in five group stage matches against Fortaleza, Palestino, and Estudiantes de Merida.

Estudiantes vs San Lorenzo Head-to-head

• San Lorenzo own a positive record in this matchup with 18 wins, 14 draws, and 13 defeats in the last 45 clashes against Estudiantes.
• We did not see goals in the previous head to head outing between these rivals in August last year in Buenos Aires.
• All but one of the last eight head to head games between these counterparts finished with fewer than three goals scored.

Estudiantes vs San Lorenzo Prediction

San Lorenzo play super-tight football this season and we’ve come to the point where it is very difficult to even expect a single goal in their matches. The fact there were no goals at all in six of the last eight games they played in all competitions best describes their playing style.

Under 1.5 goals FT is thus our main betting pick here at the 2.10 odds while we also like a scoreless first half at the same odds.

Estudiantes vs San Lorenzo Betting Tips

• Under 1.5 goals FT @ 2.10 (11/10)

• Correct Score in the 1st Half: Draw 0-0 @ 2.10 (11/10) odd.
