Estudiantes vs RB Bragantino Prediction

The home side have been in good touch recently. They are at the top of the Group B standings in the Argentine Primera Division and have guaranteed themselves a top-of-the-table finish. They can focus on the Libertadores games for now.

The visitors are unbeaten in the three league games so far and will be looking to extend their unbeaten run here. Given the form of the hosts, they should be able to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Estudiantes 2-1 RB Bragantino
