Estudiantes host Independiente in a Liga Profesional fixture that carries real weight for both clubs as the Argentine season continues to take shape.

Alexander Medina's Estudiantes arrive in decent form across competitions, having won their last two matches including a commanding 3-0 Copa Argentina victory over Rosario Central. Their continental campaign in the Copa Libertadores has been mixed, but domestic momentum is building.

Independiente, managed by Gustavo Quinteros, have been inconsistent in the league. A 3-1 defeat to Rosario Central in May was followed by a Copa Argentina win over Union, leaving their Liga Profesional ambitions in need of a boost.

Both clubs currently sit sixth in Clausura Group A, while Estudiantes lead Apertura Group A and Independiente sit fifth in the same group. The standings give this match added significance.

For supporters looking to follow the action, here is everything you need to know about where to watch Estudiantes vs Independiente, including TV channel and live stream options.

Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
