We have drawn attention to the fact that Estudiantes are a fairly productive team, going for TO (1.5) in the last four matches, and their last two games saw TO (4.5). Estudiantes need a victory to stay in the top-3. However, Central Cordoba is not the most convenient opponent for the future home team, so the first bet we suggest is a cautious combo in favor of the home team: 1Х+TO (1.5) for 1.85 at the line of 1xbet & 22bet.
