Estudiantes concedes an average of 0.73 goals at home, keeping a clean sheet in 45% of appearances, while its average xG against is just 0.81. The teams’ last five matches produced BTTS in 40% of cases for each side, but both teams conceded only 0.8 goals per match during that period. A BTTS scenario cannot be ruled out, as the hosts score 1.09 goals per home match, but it is more likely that at least one side—Chacarita in particular—will fail to score. This points to BTTS - No, meaning that at least one team does not score; it does not automatically imply a 0:0 result or that neither team will score.

The match profile points to a low-scoring outcome: Estudiantes average 1.09 goals, while Chacarita manage just 0.50 goals per game.
