Primera División stats and tips
Central Cor v Newells - Both Teams To Score - no
Going on form alone, we can expect at least one club to earn a clean sheet at Estadio Alfredo Terrera on Monday, as L. Pusineri and S. Gómez's sides clash. Central Cordoba SdE have had the most games where one team or more has not scored (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this term - 10 out of 11 played. Both gaffers will just be desperate that it isn't their them that flounders in front of goal.
Argentinos v Banfield - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Banfield will, it could be argued, have the opportunity to play without pressure as face a tough trip to Estadio Diego Armando Maradona. Home victories occur more often than not in Primera División, and the expectation is that Argentinos Juniors and their manager N. Diez Parajon will deliver exactly that as they face P. Troglio's troops on Monday night. 6 of KO's bettors have predicted that outcome, making the most of top odds of 1.53, and KO's algorithm suggests there's 60.12% probability of exactly that happening.
Instituto v Defensa - Double Chance - away win or draw
Every now and then we get a golden spell in football, and it has now been a while since since Defensa y Justicia’s happy followers watched their team get beaten in Primera División. M. Soso’s boys are now unbeaten in 11 matches, and he will be full of belief that they can extend that run against Instituto at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo on Tuesday morning. Top odds of 1.80 can be taken advantage of to back Defensa y Justicia to get the win or the draw.
Belgrano v Aldosivi - Double Chance - home win or draw
It has been a dismal run of results for Aldosivi and their fans, with their last Primera División victory now coming 12 games ago. Boss G. Farré needs to find a solution, and preferably right away. Will Belgrano at Estadio Único del Parque La Pedrera on Saturday be the one in which they turn it around?
Deportivo Riestra v Instituto - Double Chance - away win or draw
What a dismal succession of results for Deportivo Riestra and their supporters, with their last Primera División success now coming 16 matches ago. Boss J. Benítez needs to find a remedy, and quickly. Will Instituto at Estadio Guillermo Laza on Saturday come too soon, or be a turning point?
Independiente Rivadavia v Argentinos - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
Argentinos Juniors will know that 1 goal may not be enough to get the win against Independiente Rivadavia on Saturday evening. A. Berti's team have the best record in Primera División when it comes to winning games in which both teams are on the scoresheet (5 of their 12 outings), so keeping things tight might be the best route to victory for N. Diez Parajon and his Argentinos Juniors team at .
Estudiantes v U Santa Fe - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over
Every one of Unión Santa Fe's last 6 Primera División outings has had two or more goals, suggesting that we could be in for a treat as they go head to head with Estudiantes on Saturday night.
Boca Juniors v Independiente - Double Chance - home win or draw
C. Úbeda and his Boca Juniors troops have gained a handy way of getting something from just about every Primera División fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 8 in Primera División now, so G. Quinteros Desábato and his Independiente charges will have to be at their best if they're to stand any chance at Estadio Alberto José Armando on Saturday.
Estudiantes Rio Cuarto v Barracas - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
Supporters have seen 3 goals or less in each of Barracas Central's last 17 Primera División outings. As they face I. Delfino's Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto at Estadio Ciudad de Río Cuarto on Sunday, those in the know may well be backing another low-scoring affair.
Newells v San Lorenzo - Double Chance - home win or draw
San Lorenzo simply have not been able to find a way past Newell's Old Boys in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs have played on 5 occasions since 2022, and Newell's Old Boys have been unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Estadio Marcelo Alberto Bielsa could be a really difficult one for D. Ayude & co.
Platense v Gimnasia Mendoza - Double Chance - away win or draw
Being a football fan can be hard going, and Platense’s hardy follows know that better than most at the moment. Their club, led by C. González Peret, is now winless in their previous 6 Primera División matches, and the clouds hardly look like parting against Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza at Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López on Sunday evening. Backing opposition gaffer A. Broggi to add another to that list by leading his side to anything other than a defeat is available at top odds of 1.73.
A. Tucuman v Tig - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Estadio Monumental Presidente Jo will be banking on goals galore on Sunday, and rightly so if Atlético Tucumán's past record is to be continued. Both teams have found the net in 8 of their 12 Primera División fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.
Huracan v Rosario - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Huracán and Rosario Central have played out a number of low-scoring matches in recent years. With each of their last 6 Primera División matches seeing under 2.5 goals, the forwards picked by D. Martínez and J. Almirón Quintana may be going home disappointed on night.
Racing Club v River Plate - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Real Racing Club's recent outings in Primera División have delivered spills and thrills aplenty, but it has been too long since G. Costas Makeira's side provided their supporters with the kind of wild ride they'll remember for years to come. There have been under 4.5 goals in every one of their last 15 games.
Defensa v Tal Cordoba - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It may not be a record they're all that enamoured with, but Defensa y Justicia currently lead all opposition in Primera División when it comes to matches in which they have been level at both the break and the final whistle this season, with their tally now at 6 in 11 games. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency to the test against Talleres Córdoba at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello on Monday, in a match that could see yet another dead heat.
Sarmiento v Gimnasia - Double Chance - away win or draw
Sarmiento simply have not been able to find a way past Gimnasia La Plata in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs have met on 5 occasions since 2022, and Gimnasia La Plata have been unbeaten in them all. Monday's game at Estadio Eva Perón de Junín could be another hard one for F. Sava & co.
Velez v Central Cor - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - under
Maybe it’s optimistic thinking, but you would hope that Vélez Sarsfield's fans would be gifted an all-out goal fest every once in a while. They're the games we all remember. Unfortunately, however, they've now gone 120 games without witnessing 5+ goals in a single fixture, and G. Barros Schelotto and his team’s recent form hasn't given much reason to believe that that streak will come to an end as they play Central Cordoba SdE at Estadio José Amalfitani on Tuesday morning. Odds of 1.01 on under 5.5 goals won't have most people rushing to back it, but that’s because the bookies know this one’s safe as houses.
Gimnasia v Estudiantes Rio Cuarto - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can predict at least one set of players to keep a clean sheet at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo on Saturday, as I. Delfino and A. Orfila's teams meet. Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto have had the most games where one team or more has failed to score (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this term - 11 out of 12 played. Both managers will just be hoping it isn't their side that fails to register.
Independiente v Defensa - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Estadio Libertadores de América is the backdrop as Independiente and Defensa y Justicia meet on Saturday night, in what might just be a proper ding-dong battle. G. Quinteros Desábato's side have the highest number of score draws of any team in the division - 5 in 12 outings. An extension of that record can be backed at 5.00.
Argentinos v A. Tucuman - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona may be anticipating plenty goalmouth action on Sunday, and with good reason if Atlético Tucumán's past record is anything to go by. We've seen BTTS in 8 of their 12 Primera División matches this season, the largest number in the competition.
Aldosivi v Racing Club - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Real Racing Club have enjoyed meeting Aldosivi in the Primera División in recent years, with a run of 5 straight wins against them. G. Farré will be desperate to stop the rot, while G. Costas Makeira will be expecting more of the same on Sunday evening.
Rosario v Sarmiento - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
J. Almirón Quintana won't be too excited about facing Sarmiento in Primera División on Monday. F. Sava's side have led at HT and gone on to claim victory at FT in more games than any other team in the Primera División this term - 5 times in total. That stat suggests it may be a difficult morning for Rosario Central, and that backing Sarmiento in the HT FT market could be a smart move at odds of 10.00.
Tal Cordoba v Deportivo Riestra - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring fixtures aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Deportivo Riestra have had lots of chances to test that theory this term. 12 of their side's encounters in Primera División have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will C. Tevez and his Talleres Córdoba team be able to inject goals into this encounter on Monday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?
Banfield v Independiente Rivadavia - Both Teams To Score & Result - away
Banfield will be concerned that 1 goal is unlikely to be enough to get the win against Independiente Rivadavia on Monday night. A. Berti's team have the best record in Primera División when it comes to conceding yet still claiming victory (5 of their 12 games), so defence first might be the best course of action for P. Troglio and his Banfield men at Estadio Florencio Solá.
Central Cor v Platense - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under
Supporters travelling to Estadio Alfredo Terrera this Monday to watch Platense and Central Cordoba SdE might already be fearing a tedious night, and who could blame them? C. González Peret's men have produced 5 matches with under 0.5 goals this campaign, more than any team in Primera División. Will anybody break the deadlock? You can bet against it at best odds of 5.50.
River Plate v A. Tucuman - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like tipping goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming game between Atlético Tucumán and River Plate might well warrant a closer look. L. Pusineri's side have lost 4 games this campaign in which both clubs have scored. That's the most in Primera División.
