Estudiantes have established themselves as a strong home side, losing only once throughout the previous Apertura campaign.

They are currently competing on two fronts the domestic league and the Copa Libertadores where they continue to impress, having recently eliminated a big name like Cerro Porteño. With four days between that match and this one, the squad has had enough time to recover and prepare.

Their opponents, Aldosivi, arrive in poor form. Since selling their best striker, Elías Torres, to Racing Club, they have struggled to find results and are now winless in their last five matches.
