Estudiantes de Río Cuarto and San Martín de Tucumán will face each other this Tuesday starting at 4:00 p.m. at the Julio César Villagra Stadium, in the Round of 64 of the 2026 Copa Argentina. The winner of the matchup will advance to the Round of 32, where Banfield is already waiting.

Estudiantes still has not managed to establish itself in the top flight and is going through a difficult spell. The team has only five points, with one win, two draws, and nine defeats, leaving it at the bottom of the standings.

Following Iván Delfino’s departure as head coach, Gerardo Acuña remains as interim manager. He has already led the team in the loss to River Plate and the draw against Aldosivi.

The Saint wants to take advantage of its good form

San Martín de Tucumán arrives in more encouraging form. The team managed by Andrés Yllana is coming off a 1-1 draw against Chacarita Juniors and sits fourth in Zone B of the Primera Nacional with 11 points.

The Tucumán Saint remains unbeaten in the division and will look to take advantage of its rival’s poor form to move on to the next round.

Estudiantes (RC): Agustín Lastra; Raúl Lozano, Tomás Olmos, Nicolás Morro, Tobías Ostchega; Agustín Morales, Francesco Lo Celso, Tobías Leiva, Mauro Valiente; Mauricio Tévez, Javier Ferreira. Head coach: Gerardo Acuña.
