Estudiantes vs Union Santa Fe Betting Tips: X2 (DOUBLE CHANCE)

After a stellar start to their Liga Profesional campaign by claiming full points against Tigre (1-0) and Deportivo Riestra (2-0) in the opening two rounds, Estudiantes de la PLata have deteriorated in recent weeks, managing to pick up just one point from their next three outings.

The broader picture of their form offers little cause for optimism, as Los Pincharratas have failed to emerge victorious in any of their last six matches across all competitions (D2 L4), a dismal streak that led to their exit from the group stage of the Copa Libertadores.

As head coach Eduardo Dominguez feels the pressure due to a sharp decline in form, the 45-year-old must also address the defensive issues that have been the cause of the poor results, having conceded two or more goals on four occasions during this rough patch.

In stark contrast, Union Santa Fe are enjoying an outstanding start to the second phase of this competition, proudly standing as one of only three teams that remain unbeaten to date, having earned a sparkling 13 out of 15 points from their opening five matches.

It’s clear that this performance has left many speechless, especially considering that Tatengue endured disappointing finishes of 22nd and 20th in the previous two Liga Profesional campaigns, yet their current results place them neck-and-neck with the table-topping Talleres Cordoba.

One of the key assets for the Santa Fe-based club this term has been their ironclad defensive setup, which has been breached only twice while keeping three clean sheets along the way, and relying on this solid backline will be vital to preserving their flawless start.

Although Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi has been a nightmare for them in recent years, the latest visit saw Union emerging as 3-1 victors, and it seems they now have everything they need to prove that this ground has become their lucky hunting ground. Ultimately, we hope that the in-form visitors will take advantage of all the weaknesses of the hosts and take a point at the very least.
