Estudiantes vs Racing Club Prediction: A great clash between to great teams

The third round of the Torneo Betano 2025 features a high-stakes clash between Estudiantes and Racing Club. The contrasting performances in the previous round have been well and truly gripped by both sides as their aim is to build on their results.

Estudiantes (DW)

Coming into this fixture, Estudiantes will be happy to leave Olímpico after a hard fought 0-0 draw against Huracán. Though Estudiantes went down to 10 men with Benedetti's red card before the break, they battled to hold on for a point in such a way that they are lucky to have one. Their counterattacking strategy was evident as only 40% of possession and 8 shots. Six vital saves denied Huracán from Andújar, the goalkeeper. But they do not create many clear chances, they question the efficiency of their offense.

Racing Club (WW)

Their last match saw Racing winning 4-0, dominating against Belgrano at home. They were in control of 52 per cent of possession and blocked 16 shots, seven of which found the net in a clinical display. Adrian Martinez was recognized, scoring twice, Balboa twisted and scored two more for the blown victory. Belgrano were limited to just one shot on target from a Racing defense that played a pretty complete whole team race. Their confidence was boosted by this and the attack and defense of a solid side became apparent.

Expert Betting Tips

The match between Estudantes, based on their defensive strength, and Racing, seeking to exploit their attacking strength, will be a tactical duel. Racing are just on a wonderful run that should see them advance despite having the home advantage while Estudiantes lack the finishing that Racing possess. The attacking momentum of Racing and Estudiantes’ lack of offensive sharpness makes for an edge to the visitors. But given Estudiantes’ home crowd and defensive discipline, this could be a tight one.
