Primera División stats and tips
Tal Cordoba v Boca Juniors - Double Chance - away win or draw
C. Úbeda and his Boca Juniors side have found a handy way of getting something from pretty much every Primera División match they play. They're unbeaten in 7 in Primera División now, so C. Tevez and his Talleres Córdoba side will have to be at their best if they're going to get anything at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón on Friday.
Gimnasia Mendoza v Velez - Double Chance - away win or draw
What a dismal set of results for Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza and their fans, with their last Primera División win now coming 7 games ago. Boss A. Broggi has to find a way out, and preferably right away. Will Vélez Sarsfield at Estadio Feliciano Gambarte on Friday be the one in which they turn it around?
U Santa Fe v Deportivo Riestra - Double Chance - home win or draw
Following your favourite footy team year after year can be hard going, and Deportivo Riestra’s dogged old follows know that feeling especially well at the moment. Their team, led by J. Benítez, has now failed to win any of their last 15 Primera División matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Unión Santa Fe at Estadio 15 de Abril on Friday night. Backing opposition boss L. Madelón to add to their misery by inspiring his team to a positive result can be bet on at best odds of 1.18.
San Lorenzo v Estudiantes - Double Chance - away win or draw
It has been a dismal run of results for San Lorenzo and their supporters, with their last Primera División victory now coming 5 games ago. Boss D. Ayude needs to find a way out, and quickly. Will Estudiantes at Estadio Pedro Bidegaín on Friday provide some relief?
Aldosivi v Estudiantes Rio Cuarto - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's the task facing Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto boss I. Delfino on Saturday. His side face Aldosivi having lost each of their last 4 Primera División games.
Independiente v Racing Club - Double Chance - away win or draw
A satisfyingly long time has passed since Real Racing Club’s happy followers watched their lads suffer defeat in Primera División. G. Costas Makeira’s boys are now unbeaten in 8 outings, and he will be hopeful that they can keep that streak running against Independiente at Estadio Libertadores de América on Saturday night. Best value odds of 1.50 can be taken advantage of to back Real Racing Club the double chance market.
Rosario v A. Tucuman - Double Chance - home win or draw
Atlético Tucumán have consistently struggled against Rosario Central in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 9 occasions since 2019, and Rosario Central have been unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Estadio 15 de Abril could be a tricky one for L. Pusineri & co.
Gimnasia v Huracan - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Games with 5 goals or more don’t come around every day, but Huracán's hardy fans have now had to wait 30 games to watch their team take part in one. Certainly they could be forgiven for craving some proper excitement by now. Will that much-needed goal-fest finally come around on Sunday evening, as they face A. Orfila's Gimnasia La Plata at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo? With odds of 1.03 on there being under 4.5 goals, the UK's leading bookmakers certainly don’t think so.
River Plate v Belgrano - Double Chance - home win or draw
Luckily for them, it has been quite some time since River Plate’s happy followers watched their side get beaten in Primera División. M. Gallardo’s squad is now unbeaten in 5 games, and he'll be expecting that they can keep going against Belgrano at Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespu on Sunday night. Top odds of 1.13 can be taken advantage of to back River Plate to either win or draw.
Central Cor v Newells - Both Teams To Score - no
If the form book is to be believed, we can predict at least one side to keep a clean sheet at Estadio Alfredo Terrera on Monday, as L. Pusineri and S. Gómez's teams meet. Central Cordoba SdE have had the highest number of games where one team or more has not scored (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this campaign - 10 out of 11 played. Both bosses will just be praying it isn't their side that draws a blank.
Argentinos v Banfield - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Argentinos Juniors have dominated Banfield in the Primera División of late, putting together a run of 5 straight wins against them. P. Troglio will be hoping for a change in fortunes, while N. Diez Parajon will be hopeful of more of the same on Monday night.
Instituto v Defensa - Double Chance - away win or draw
M. Soso and his Defensa y Justicia team have developed a useful knack of claiming something from pretty much every Primera División game they play. They're unbeaten in 11 in Primera División now, so D. Oldrá and his Instituto charges will have to be at their best if they're to get the win at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo on Tuesday.
Deportivo Riestra v Instituto - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring encounters aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Deportivo Riestra have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this season. 11 of their side's encounters in Primera División have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will D. Oldrá and his Instituto side be capable of adding some goalmouth action into this encounter on Saturday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?
Independiente Rivadavia v Argentinos - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
Argentinos Juniors will be aware that 1 goal is unlikely to be enough to get the win against Independiente Rivadavia on Saturday night. A. Berti's men 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 matches), so keeping things tight might be the best course of action for N. Diez Parajon and his Argentinos Juniors charges at .
Boca Juniors v Independiente - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Estadio Alberto José Armando may be anticipating goals galore on Saturday, and they're right to, if Independiente's recent record is to be continued. Both teams have scored in 8 of their 11 Primera División matches this season, more than any side in the competition.
A. Tucuman v Tig - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you fancy a thriller on Sunday night, then the clash between Atlético Tucumán and Tigre could be one to watch. L. Pusineri's team lead Primera División in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 7 of their Primera División games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a parking of the bus from D. Dabove's men could keep the score down.
Racing Club v River Plate - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
M. Gallardo won't be looking forward to the prospect of playing Real Racing Club in Primera División on Monday. G. Costas Makeira's side have led at the break and gone on to claim victory at fulltime more often than any other team in the Primera División this term - 4 times in total. That record suggests it may be a long morning for River Plate, and that backing Real Racing Club in the HT FT market would be a strong bet at odds of 4.33.
Defensa v Tal Cordoba - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It might not be a record they're especially proud of, but Defensa y Justicia currently lead all other teams in Primera División when it comes to fixtures drawn at both halftime and fulltime 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 game that could see yet another stalemate.
Velez v Central Cor - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can expect at least one set of players to keep a clean sheet at Estadio José Amalfitani on Tuesday, as L. Pusineri and G. Barros Schelotto's sides clash. Central Cordoba SdE have had the highest number of fixtures where one team or more has not found the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this campaign - 10 out of 11 played. Both bosses will just be desperate that it isn't their team that fails to register.
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.
