Estudiantes meet Independiente Rivadavia in the Supercopa Argentina final at Estadio Julio Cesar Villagra. The main tip is both teams to score (BTTS), backed by recent form: Estudiantes have seen BTTS in their last five domestic matches and Independiente Rivadavia in eight of their last eleven. All three previous meetings between these sides since 2020 ended with goals for both teams. Both teams drew their last league matches 1-1, and defensive vulnerabilities suggest another open encounter.

Estudiantes vs Independiente Rivadavia Predictions

Estudiantes take on Independiente Rivadavia in Thursday's Supercopa Argentina final at the Estadio Julio Cesar Villagra in Cordoba.

Both sides were held to 1-1 draws in their final league matches last weekend, while each of the three previous meetings between these sides finished with goals at both ends.

BTTS is my first choice, while I also fancy a low-score draw.

Both Teams Backed to Score in Supercopa Final


  • Estudiantes have seen BTTS in their last 5 matches (domestic fixtures)
  • Estudiantes conceded 1+ goals in 10 of their last 11 matches (domestic fixtures)
  • Estudiantes drew 5 of their last 7 matches
  • Independiente Rivadavia have seen BTTS in 8 of their last 11 matches
  • Independiente Rivadavia conceded 1+ goals in 10 of their last 11 matches
  • Independiente Rivadavia drew 4 of their last 8 matches

Estudiantes vs Independiente Rivadavia Head to Head

Estudiantes and Independiente Rivadavia have met three times since 2020. Estudiantes won once, while two previous matches finished level.

BTTS landed in all three fixtures.

Estudiantes Winless Run Extended

Estudiantes finished their Clausura group-stage campaign with a 1-1 road draw against Talleres in Cordoba on Saturday.

Roman Riquelme's own goal gave Alexander Medina's side an early lead before Alexandro Maidana levelled for Talleres early in the second half. 

A lack of quality in front of goal was evident in a tight contest at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes.

The visitors enjoyed more possession (55%-45%) and registered 11 shots to Talleres' 10, but managed only two on target compared to the hosts' six. 

Estudiantes also recorded a much lower xG total (0.25-1.06).

Saturday's result extended Estudiantes' winless run to seven games, although five of those matches finished as draws. Both teams scored in three of those five contests.

The Pincha ended the Clausura group stage with 16 points from 16 fixtures, finishing 12th in Zone B. 

Estudiantes secured their place in the Supercopa final by winning the 2025 Trofeo de Campeones. 

Independiente Rivadavia Rescue Late Derby Draw

Independiente Rivadavia come into Thursday's Supercopa final after a dramatic 1-1 draw against local rivals Gimnasia Mendoza in their final Clausura group-stage fixture.

Despite being reduced to 10 men when Jose Florentin was dismissed early in the first half, Alfredo Berti's men secured a well-deserved point at Estadio Víctor Legrotaglie.

German Guiffrey gave Gimnasia a first-half lead before substitute Luis Diaz struck deep into stoppage time to rescue a point, after the hosts had also seen Luciano Cingolani sent off.

La Lepra were good value for their point in a competitive contest. Rivadavia managed just 41% possession but registered 12 shots to Gimnasia's ten. 

The visitors recorded four efforts on target compared to the hosts' five but finished with a higher xG total (0.76-0.48).

Like Estudiantes, Rivadavia have struggled for victories in recent weeks, with La Lepra winning just one of their last six matches.

Berti's side qualified for the Supercopa by winning the 2025 Copa Argentina, defeating Argentinos Juniors on penalties after a 2-2 draw in the final. 

Estudiantes vs Independiente Rivadavia Team News

Estudiantes: (4-2-3-1) Fernando Muslera; Eros Mancuso, Leandro Gonzalez Pirez, Marcos Rojo, Gaston Benedetti; Ezequiel Piovi, Alexis Castro; Tiago Palacios, Baltasar Rodriguez, Joaquin Tobio Burgos; Adolfo Gaich.

Estudiantes boss Alexander Medina must make at least one change to the XI that faced Talleres. Joaquin Correa is ruled out after suffering a muscle injury. Baltasar Rodriguez stands by to come into the starting lineup.

Injured trio Guido Carrillo, Tomas Palacios and Gabriel Neves are also expected to remain sidelined.

Independiente Rivadavia: (4-4-2) Nicolas Bolcato; Alex Vigo, Ivan Villalba, Alejo Osella, Juan Elordi; Gonzalo Rios, Tomas Bottari, Jose Florentin, Leonel Bucca; Fabrizio Sartori, Alex Arce.

Independiente Rivadavia boss Alfredo Berti could keep faith with the side that rescued a late draw at Gimnasia Mendoza. 

Luis Diaz is pushing for a starting place after his goalscoring substitute appearance. 

Luciano Gomez and Maximiliano Salas remain long-term absentees, while Leonard Costa is doubtful to feature due to an adductor injury.

Verdict

An evenly balanced Supercopa final is likely to see both teams get on the scoresheet. 

I have my first stake on BTTS while I also fancy a low-score draw on Thursday.
