Platense have won just 4 of their last 20, drawing a striking 8 and losing 8, with 17 goals for and 25 against. That's a lot of stalemates and a fair few losses, and it points to a team that's struggled to find consistent attacking edge.
Estudiantes arrive with the healthier recent numbers, though neither side has been in outstanding touch.

Platense's own home form in this fixture hasn't been kind either, with two of their last three home meetings against Estudiantes ending in defeat.
The head-to-head trend has clearly tilted toward Estudiantes in the most recent meetings.

A cup rematch just weeks apart
This Copa Argentina tie comes only a couple of weeks after these two faced off in the league, where Estudiantes won 2-1. That's an unusually quick rematch, and it means both sets of players will have fresh memories of how the other side operates.
The market has Estudiantes as favourites here despite Platense holding home advantage, which lines up with the form gap and the recent head-to-head pattern. Platense's tendency to draw matches rather than lose them, though, means this could still be tighter than the raw numbers suggest.

Taking Estudiantes with a draw-no-bet cushion feels like the sensible way into this one. It backs the side with the better recent record and the head-to-head edge, without being punished if Platense's habit of drawing games shows up again.
Platense at home shouldn't be dismissed entirely, given how many points they've salvaged through draws this season, but there's little in the recent data to suggest they can turn that into an outright win against a side that's just beaten them.
