CA Estudiantes vs San Miguel tips and predictions

Outcome not obvious in Primera Nacional battle; draw in the offing

There's nothing between CA Estudiantes and San Miguel. The two sides are sitting in third place with 32 points in the Primera Nacional so it's all to play for. The draw looks like a big price as both of these sides will look to make a statement.

All outcomes are on the table here but the value has to be with the deadlock. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick and the draw odds available in the match winner market look like pretty good value.

These sides have impressed at the back. It's commendable that CA Estudiantes haven't conceded during their most recent 3 home matches. Meanwhile San Miguel haven't conceded even once during their most recent 3 matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 2 of the last 3 have ended in a draw.

The sportsbooks' prices indicate that at least one of these sides will keep a clean sheet as the match is likely to be tight. If it plays out as expected then the No BTTS bet could be decent.

CA Estudiantes have drawn 8 of their last 18 matches on their own soil, including their most recent match when they drew 2-2 with Ferro last Sunday. San Miguel have drawn 8 of their last 15 away games. They shared the spoils with Talleres last week and while the prediction is for any draw, a scoreline of 0-0 cannot be written off here. This will probably be a close encounter and the pick has to be with the value offered up by the draw price. You could make worse bets than getting with a stalemate.
