Estudiantes Rio Cuarto vs Nueva Chicago Prediction & Betting Tips (1 September)

Nueva Chicago have really rediscovered their mojo in recent times, winning ten of their previous 14 games at the top table of the Primera Nacional and only dropping points against some games during this spell. Estudiantes Rio Cuarto, by way of contrast, have triumphed just once in 14 matches of late, and they were beaten 4-1 in this fixture last term.

Under 2.5 goals has been the order of the day in ten of the last 14 Estudiantes Rio Cuarto home games in the Primera Nacional, as well as in each of their previous seven Primera Nacional contests overall. Nueva Chicago have kept things similarly tight recently, with 14 of their last 14 matches at this level delivering no more than a couple of goals, so anyone expecting a thriller is set to be severely disappointed.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from five of the previous six Estudiantes Rio Cuarto home games in the Primera Nacional, so thrillers have been few and far between at the home Stadium. As for Nueva Chicago, just four of their most recent 17 away matches at this level have produced goals at both ends, which doesn’t offer much hope.
