Last Updated on July 18, 2022 4:26 pm by Erwin Noguera

Estudiantes and Barracas Central, two teams with a very bad present, face each other this Wednesday for the Matchday 9 of the LFP with the obligation to win.

It is not the tournament that Estudiantes expected. They have only been able to gain 8 points out of a possible 24 and are 20th on the table.

On the sides of Barracas Central, the situation is the same. It has only 1 point more than its rival and was reinforced in this transfer window; as well, in search of improvement and to recover the path of victory.

This game, for the Matchday 9 of the Argentine league, will be on Wednesday, July 20 at the Ciudad de La Plata stadium.

Why Bet on Estudiantes

It’s a bittersweet semester for Estudiantes. In the league, it is very bad. They are 20th in the table with only 2 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses, scoring 9 goals and conceding 12. In Copa Argentina, they lost 1-0 to Belgrano. However, in the Copa Libertadores, they qualified for the quarterfinals after eliminating Fortaleza from Brazil with a 4-1 aggregate and now will face Athletico Paranaense.

In the league, they have 4 losses and 1 draw in their last 5 games, bad numbers for Ricardo Zielinsky’s team. This weekend they lost to Tigre, which was further down the table, 2-1. The only positive thing that the Pincha can rescue is that Pablo Piatti, the idol who returned, scored his first goal.

Also, at home, they have won 1 game, tied 2, and lost another.

Why Bet on Barracas Central

It has not been a good first year in Primera for Barracas Central. The Guapo is making its debut in the top category and knows that it needs to obtain all the points. Otherwise, they will be at the end of the season fighting to not be relegated, something common in teams that have just ascended.

On the previous Matchday, they fell at home against Argentinos Juniors by 1-3 and ended an undefeated 3-game streak, where they got two wins against San Lorenzo (2-1) and Talleres (0-2), in addition to a draw in Banfield’s house (1-1).

Barracas was reinforced this month and the arrival of Paraguayan striker Cristian Colman stands out, who until a few weeks ago was Arsenal’s and the tournament’s top scorer.

In this tournament they have the two wins already mentioned, 3 draws and 3 losses, scoring 10 goals and conceding 12. In the Copa Argentina they won against Acassuso 4-1, but then lost 3-0 to River Plate and were eliminated.

Final Betting Analysis: Estudiantes vs. Barracas Central

It will be a very close match between two teams that are doing poorly in the tournament; that has just lost, and that need to win if they want to dream of something important. That is why we believe it will be a tie.

At MyBookie.ag we find that Estudiantes is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -178, while Barracas Central has +500 and the draw is at +295.

In professionalism, they have only played 1 game, which was on April 16 of this year for the Copa de la Liga and was a 1-6 win for Estudiantes with goals from Gustavo del Prete (2), Manuel Castro, Mauro Boselli, Leandro Diaz, and Brian Orosco. Iván Tapia scored the discount.

Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on a draw at +295, you will gain $295 for a total payout of $395.
