Estudiantes L.P. welcome Newell’s Old Boys to Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi on March 15, 2025, at 21:30 UTC, in what looks to be a favorable fixture for the hosts. With betting odds of 1.61 for a home win and our AI assigning a confidence level of 8.8/10, all signs point to an Estudiantes victory.

The home team comes into this match in solid form, having recently stunned River Plate away with a 0-2 win at odds of 5.15. Meanwhile, Newell’s Old Boys have shown they can pull off surprises too, defeating Talleres Córdoba 1-3 away at odds of 8.5. However, consistency remains a concern for the visitors, and facing Estudiantes on their home turf is a different challenge altogether.

Statistically, home teams in the Argentine Primera División win 43.5% of matches, while away teams claim victory just 26.0% of the time. The last head-to-head encounter between these two sides saw Estudiantes secure a 2-0 win, reinforcing their dominance. Our AI predicts a similar outcome this time, forecasting a 2-0 final score with a 1-0 lead at halftime.

Expect Estudiantes to control possession (61% vs. 39%) and create more chances, with 14 shots compared to Newell’s 9. However, goals may be limited, as our AI suggests under 2.5 goals (trust level 3.8/10, odds 1.7). This aligns with league trends, where only 38.1% of matches surpass the 2.5-goal mark.

Discipline could play a role, with Estudiantes projected to receive 2 yellow cards, while Newell’s might pick up 3. Corners are expected to be evenly split at 3 each, indicating a potentially tight midfield battle.

Given the stats, form, and AI confidence, the best bet here is Estudiantes to win (1) at 1.61. With their superior squad value (€56.25m vs. €20.52m) and home advantage, they should get the job done. Expect a professional, controlled performance from the hosts—nothing flashy, just three points in the bag.
