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
Argentinos Juniors have enjoyed success against Banfield in the Primera División of late, with a run of 5 straight wins against them. P. Troglio will be doing all he can to turn the tide, while N. Diez Parajon will be expecting more of the same on Monday night.
Instituto v Defensa - Double Chance - away win or draw
Luckily for them, it has been quite some time since Defensa y Justicia’s happy supporters watched their team suffer defeat in Primera División. M. Soso’s squad is now unbeaten in 11 outings, and he'll be telling them that they can keep going against Instituto at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo on Tuesday morning. Best odds of 1.80 can be taken advantage of to back Defensa y Justicia the double chance market.
Belgrano v Aldosivi - Double Chance - home win or draw
What a miserable set of results for Aldosivi and their fans, with their last Primera División victory now coming 12 matches ago. Boss G. Farré has to find a remedy, and quickly. Will Belgrano at Estadio Único del Parque La Pedrera on Saturday come too soon, or be a turning point?
Deportivo Riestra v Instituto - Double Chance - away win or draw
What a miserable set of results for Deportivo Riestra and their supporters, with their last Primera División victory now coming 16 matches ago. Boss J. Benítez has 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 be concerned that 1 goal may not be enough to claim victory over Independiente Rivadavia on Saturday evening. A. Berti's men have the best record in Primera División when it comes to conceding yet still claiming victory (5 of their 12 outings), so keeping things tight might be the best course of action for N. Diez Parajon and his Argentinos Juniors team at .
Estudiantes v U Santa Fe - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over
Each of Unión Santa Fe's last 6 Primera División outings has had two or more goals, suggesting that fans could get their money's worth as they battle it out with Estudiantes on Saturday night.
Boca Juniors v Independiente - Double Chance - home win or draw
Happy days! It has now been a long while since Boca Juniors’s merry fans watched their team suffer defeat in Primera División. C. Úbeda’s boys are now unbeaten in 8 outings, and he will be full of belief that they can keep that streak running against Independiente at Estadio Alberto José Armando on Saturday night. Best odds of 1.29 can be taken advantage of to back Boca Juniors to either win or draw.
Estudiantes Rio Cuarto v Barracas - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
There have been 3 goals or less in each of Barracas Central's last 17 Primera División outings. As they go head to head with I. Delfino's Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto at Estadio Ciudad de Río Cuarto on Sunday, those in the know should be backing another low-scoring affair.
Newells v San Lorenzo - Double Chance - home win or draw
San Lorenzo have consistently struggled against Newell's Old Boys in the Primera División in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 5 occasions since 2022, and Newell's Old Boys have gone 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
Following your favourite footy team year after year can be hard going, and Platense’s dogged old follows know that feeling especially well right now. 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 manager A. Broggi to extend the run by leading his lads to either a win or draw is available at top odds of 1.73.
A. Tucuman v Tig - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at Estadio Monumental Presidente Jo will be anticipating action at both ends on Sunday, and rightly so if Atlético Tucumán's past record is anything to go by. There have been a goal in both nets in 8 of their 12 Primera División matches this season, the largest number in the competition.
Huracan v Rosario - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Huracán and Rosario Central have been involved in a number of low-scoring matches in recent years. With each of their last 6 Primera División matches ending with under 2.5 goals, the strikers 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
The 5+ goal game may be a rare beast, but Real Racing Club's loyal supporters have now been waiting 15 games to watch their team take part in one. Certainly they could be forgiven for craving some proper excitement by now. Will the run be broken on Monday morning, as they face M. Gallardo's River Plate at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo ? With odds of 1.05 on there being under 4.5 goals, the bookmakers are making their thoughts on the matter perfectly clear.
Defensa v Tal Cordoba - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It might not be an honour they're particularly proud of, but Defensa y Justicia currently lead all other teams in Primera División when it comes to matches drawn at both the break and the final whistle this season, with their tally now at 6 in 11 outings. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency on the line against Talleres Córdoba at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello on Monday, in a fixture that could see yet another tie.
Sarmiento v Gimnasia - Double Chance - away win or draw
Sarmiento have consistently struggled against Gimnasia La Plata in the Primera División in recent years. The two sides have met on 5 occasions since 2022, and Gimnasia La Plata have remained unbeaten in them all. Monday's game at Estadio Eva Perón de Junín could be a really difficult 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 one those those games in which it's goals galore every once in a while. We all need a bit of entertainment in our lives, after all. Sadly, however, it has now been 120 games without witnessing 5 goals or more in a single game, and G. Barros Schelotto and his side’s recent performances haven't hinted that that run will be broken 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 it's as safe a bet as you're likely to find.
Gimnasia v Estudiantes Rio Cuarto - Both Teams To Score - no
If the form book is to be believed, 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 highest number of games where one team or more has failed to find the back of the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this season - 11 out of 12 played. Both managers will just be desperate that it isn't their them that flounders in front of goal.
Independiente v Defensa - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Estadio Libertadores de América is the backdrop as Independiente and Defensa y Justicia go head-to-head on Saturday night, in what might just be a tight affair. G. Quinteros Desábato's side have the highest number of score draws of any team in the competition - 5 in 12 games. An extension of that record is available at 5.00.
Argentinos v A. Tucuman - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona will be fully expecting action at both ends on Sunday, and with good reason if Atlético Tucumán's past record is anything to go by. There have been a goal in both nets in 8 of their 12 Primera División fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.
Aldosivi v Racing Club - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Real Racing Club have dominated Aldosivi in the Primera División recently, putting together a run of 5 straight wins against them. G. Farré will be hoping for a change in fortunes, 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.
