Independiente comes to this game after the 6th consecutive game without knowing the taste of defeat. In the last round, the team was able to draw against the powerful San Lorenzo. In the last 5 games of the league, Independiente has 5 draws, having won a game for the Cup in between those games. Despite winning little, the Independiente team is an extremely difficult team to beat, having only 2 defeats, adding 1 victory and 6 draws. With a game based on exploiting offensive transitions and good defensive organization, the team is currently in 22nd place with 9 points, just 2 points less than Estudiantes, which they could surpass in case of victory.

The Estudiantes team comes to this game in its best moment of the season, adding 3 wins in the last 5 games. In the last round of the league, they were able to achieve an excellent 3-0 victory over Newell's Old Boys. The team started very strong, ending the 1st half winning by 2-0, and still having wasted a penalty. At the beginning of the 2nd half, the team would make it 3-0, which would be the final result. They showed excellent defensive organization and offensive effectiveness, which has been key to the good victories in recent games. Despite the good home results, it is in the away games that the team has presented more difficulties. In 4 away games, the team has only 1 victory, 1 draw, and 2 defeats. In addition, in the last 2 away games for the championship, the team has 2 defeats. The game during the week for Sudamericana could also be a decisive factor, as the team could show some fatigue resulting from the 3 games played in just 7 days.

The last 5 games between these 2 teams have been quite divided, with 2 victories for Independiente, 2 victories for Estudiantes and 1 draw. Goals were scored in all of those 5 games, and in 3 of them were scored 3 goals.

This is a difficult matchup to predict, but Independiente is expected to at least get a draw due to playing at home and their recent form.
