Deportivo Moron vs CA Estudiantes Prediction & Betting Tips (1 September)

Deportivo Morón returns to Estadio Nuevo Francisco Urbano with a quiet confidence, having stitched together a resilient run of form in the Primera Nacional. Under the guidance of Walter Otta, the team has shown defensive solidity, conceding just 16 goals across 26 matches. Midfielders Mariano Bittolo and Yair González have been instrumental in controlling tempo, while forward Ivo Costantino continues to be a reliable outlet in attack. Their recent 1-1 draw against Agropecuario highlighted their ability to grind out results, even when not at their best. With 43 points and a top-six position in Group B, Morón is well within playoff contention and hungry to assert dominance at home.

On the other side, CA Estudiantes arrives with a slightly more erratic rhythm but undeniable attacking flair. The Buenos Aires-based club, coached by a tactically astute staff, has racked up 44 points from 27 matches, sitting just above Morón in the standings. Their recent 2-0 win over Defensores de Belgrano and a commanding 3-0 away victory against Chacarita Juniors showcased their ability to dismantle defenses with precision. However, their 1-0 loss to Estudiantes de Río Cuarto last week exposed vulnerabilities when pressed aggressively. Estudiantes’ midfield trio has been dynamic, but their backline will need to be sharper to withstand Morón’s pressure.

This fixture promises a compelling tactical duel, with Morón’s compact shape and Estudiantes’ fluid transitions likely to clash in midfield. The hosts will look to exploit Estudiantes’ occasional lapses in concentration, particularly on set pieces, where Julio Salvá’s long deliveries and Lorenzon’s aerial prowess could be decisive. Estudiantes, meanwhile, will rely on their pace down the flanks and quick interchanges to unsettle Morón’s disciplined structure. Both teams have shown a tendency to score late, so expect drama in the final quarter of the match.

Given the current form and home advantage, Deportivo Morón edges this contest with a predicted 2-1 scoreline. Their defensive discipline, combined with a knack for capitalizing on key moments, should be enough to hold off Estudiantes’ spirited attack. While Estudiantes will likely find the net through a moment of brilliance, Morón’s consistency and tactical maturity give them the edge in what could be a pivotal clash in the race for promotion.
