Estudiantes de La Plata and their head coach, Eduardo Domínguez, will look to extend their good run when they face Racing this Saturday in the final of the Torneo Clausura of the Professional Football League. The match will take place in Santiago del Estero. Estudiantes, currently in a dispute with the AFA over a prize created to make Rosario Central 'League Champion', had a very tough path to the final, finishing eighth in the regular phase and then winning away against 'Canalla' (Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero) and Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata. 'Pincha' is on a great run against Racing, which excites their fans, as they have won the last three encounters between them. The first of these was in the 2024 Professional Football League, where they won 5-4 away in what was one of the best matches of last year. The next was at the beginning of 2025, in the Torneo Apertura, with a comfortable 2-0 win at home, while in the regular phase of this Torneo Clausura, they once again won away, this time 1-0. But Estudiantes' good form doesn't stop there, as their head coach, Eduardo Domínguez, has a very good precedent the only time he faced Racing in a final. It was the match that decided the champion of the 2021 Copa de la Liga, when he was coaching Colón de Santa Fe. On that occasion, 'Sabalero' gave an unforgettable lesson to 'Academia', who was coached by Juan Antonio Pizzi, to win 3-0. This Saturday, the new champion of Argentine football will be decided when Estudiantes and Racing face off in the grand final of the Torneo Clausura, which will be covered live by the Noticias Argentinas news agency.
