Primera División stats and tips
A. Tucuman v Aldosivi - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Independiente Rivadavia v Barracas - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at may be anticipating plenty goalmouth action on Thursday, and they're right to, if Independiente Rivadavia's recent record is to be continued. There have been a goal in both nets in 6 of their 8 Primera División fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.
Defensa v Central Cor - Double Chance - home win or draw
M. Soso and his Defensa y Justicia troops have gained a convenient knack of taking something from just about every Primera División fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 8 in Primera División now, so L. Pusineri and his Central Cordoba SdE team will have their work cut out if they're to get the win at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello on Thursday.
Deportivo Riestra v Gimnasia Mendoza - Double Chance - away win or draw
Trekking across the width and breadth of the country to support your club can be a thankless task, and Deportivo Riestra’s long-suffering follows know that better than most right now. Their side, led by J. Benítez, has not won any of their last 12 Primera División matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza at Estadio Guillermo Laza on Thursday night. Backing opposition boss A. Broggi to add to their misery by inspiring his lads to anything other than a defeat is available at top odds of 1.62.
Estudiantes Rio Cuarto v Belgrano - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Belgrano's recent outings in Primera División have delivered decent entertainment, and a fair amount of goals, but it has been a while since R. Zielinski's side treated their fans to the kind of goal-fest we all really want to see. There have been no more than 4 goals in all of their last 52 matches.
Tal Cordoba v Instituto - Double Chance - away win or draw
Talleres Córdoba simply have not been able to find a way past Instituto in the Primera División in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 5 occasions since 2023, and Instituto have gone unbeaten in them all. Thursday's game at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón could be another hard one for C. Tevez & co.
Huracan v River Plate - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Huracán's recent outings in Primera División have delivered decent entertainment, and a fair amount of goals, but it has been a while since D. Martínez's players provided their supporters with the kind of goal-fest we all really want to see. There have been no more than 4 goals in all of their last 27 outings.
Estudiantes v Lanus - Double Chance - home win or draw
Following your favourite footy team year after year can be a pretty dispiriting experience at times, and Lanús’s hardy follows know that better than most right now. Their club, led by M. Pellegrino, is now winless in their previous 5 Primera División matches, and the clouds hardly look like parting against Estudiantes at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi (La Plata, Provincia de Buenos Aires) on Friday night. Backing opposition manager E. Domínguez to extend the run by leading his side to either a win or draw is available at top odds of 1.25.
Platense v Velez - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Platense and Vélez Sarsfield have laboured through a number of tight clashes in recent years. With each of their last 5 Primera División meetings having under 2.5 goals, the forwards picked by C. González Peret and G. Barros Schelotto may be in for a long day night.
Rosario v Banfield - Double Chance - away win or draw
Rosario Central have consistently struggled against Banfield in the Primera División in recent years. The two sides have played on 5 occasions since 2022, and Banfield have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Estadio 15 de Abril could be a really difficult one for J. Almirón Quintana & co.
Gimnasia v Independiente Rivadavia - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo will be anticipating action at both ends on Sunday, and they're right to, if Independiente Rivadavia's recent record is to be continued. Both teams have found the net in 6 of their 8 Primera División matches this season, the largest number in the competition.
Belgrano v Tal Cordoba - Double Chance - away win or draw
Belgrano have consistently struggled against Talleres Córdoba in the Primera División in recent years. The two sides have met on 7 occasions since 2018, and Talleres Córdoba have gone unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Estadio Julio César Villagra could be a really difficult one for R. Zielinski & co.
Aldosivi v Huracan - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - over
Aldosivi have been Primera División's showmen this term, at least in terms of serving up high scoring matches. No other side can boast more than their record of having taken part in 0 six-goal thrillers this term. Can they make that 1 when they play Huracán on Monday evening? With odds of 41.00 available, it could be worth backing.
Barracas v A. Tucuman - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you're not busy on Monday evening, then the clash between Atlético Tucumán and Barracas Central could be one to watch. L. Pusineri's team lead Primera División in most matches with more than 2 goals scored so far this season. 6 of their Primera División games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from R. Insúa's men could keep the score down.
San Lorenzo v Defensa - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
San Lorenzo and Defensa y Justicia have played out a number of tight clashes in recent years. With each of their last 5 Primera División meetings ending with under 2.5 goals, the attackers picked by D. Ayude and M. Soso may be in for a tough night.
Racing Club v Estudiantes Rio Cuarto - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
I. Delfino won't be relishing going up against Real Racing Club in Primera División on Monday. G. Costas Makeira's side have led at the break and gone on to secure the win at final whistle more frequently than any other club in the Primera División this season - 3 times in total. That record suggests it could well be a tough night for Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto, and that backing Real Racing Club in the HT FT market would be a smart move at odds of 1.91.
Instituto v Independiente - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
plays host as Independiente and Instituto go head-to-head on Tuesday morning, in what could prove to be a real crowd-pleaser. G. Quinteros Desábato's side have the most score draws of any team in the division - 4 in 9 games. An extension of that record is available at 5.00.
Central Cor v Deportivo Riestra - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring encounters aren't always boring, but fans of Central Cordoba SdE have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this term. 8 of their side's encounters in Primera División have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will J. Benítez and his Deportivo Riestra team be capable of adding some spice into this fixture on Wednesday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?
A. Tucuman v Gimnasia - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you're looking for some proper entertainment on Saturday morning, then the clash between Atlético Tucumán and Gimnasia La Plata could be one to watch. L. Pusineri's team lead Primera División in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 6 of their Primera División games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from A. Orfila's men could ruin the spectacle.
Velez v Lanus - Double Chance - home win or draw
Lanús simply have not been able to find a way past Vélez Sarsfield in the Primera División in recent years. The two sides have met on 8 occasions since 2021, and Vélez Sarsfield have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Estadio José Amalfitani could be a really difficult one for M. Pellegrino & co.
Defensa v U Santa Fe - 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 games where they've been drawing at both halftime and fulltime this campaign, with their tally now at 5 in 8 matches. They will put that unwanted consistency on the line versus Unión Santa Fe at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello on Saturday, in a game that could see yet another dead heat.
Independiente v Tal Cordoba - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
The record books suggest we could be in for a thriller at Estadio Libertadores de América on Saturday night. Each of Independiente and Talleres Córdoba's last 5 Primera División duals have had over 2.5 goals, and G. Quinteros Desábato and C. Tevez's sides will be going all-out to keep that run going.
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.
