- Independiente have the fewest points (2) at home in Superliga
- Estudiantes have the most dropped points from leading position (7) in Superliga
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Copa Sudamericana game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Oriente Petrolero. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Independiente form and stats
0 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Independiente, who have the fewest points (2) at home in Superliga, have to build on here at Estadio Libertadores de América in the Superliga. Independiente are splitting points both home and away, currently holding an interesting streak of five drawn games in a row.
Independiente travelled for their previous game, a trip to San Lorenzo that ended 0-0. Goalkeeper Rey got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.2 out of ten. Rey topped it up with a clean sheet.
A home win before that, as expected. The team were big favourites against Ciudad de Bolivar and won 3-0. This is expected to be a close game, with Independiente perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Independiente as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Independiente has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.
Independiente are traveling soon after this match as the Superliga match at Rosario Central awaits in three days.
Independiente are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games.
Estudiantes form and stats
Playing away, Estudiantes have won 1 game, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Superliga this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Estudiantes are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

After this away game Estudiantes return home for a Superliga game against Atletico Tucuman. That game is only three sleeps after this.
