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 dominated Banfield in the Primera División in recent years, with their streak now extending to 5 straight wins against them. P. Troglio will be desperate to stop the rot, while N. Diez Parajon will be hopeful of more of the same on Monday night.
Instituto v Defensa - Double Chance - away win or draw
Weeks have passed since Defensa y Justicia’s joyous fans watched their lads suffer defeat in Primera División. M. Soso’s men are now unbeaten in 11 games, and he'll be hopeful that they can keep that streak running against Instituto at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo on Tuesday morning. Best odds of 1.80 are available to back Defensa y Justicia the double chance market.
Belgrano v Aldosivi - Double Chance - home win or draw
Following your favourite footy team year after year can be a thankless task, and Aldosivi’s hardy follows know that only too well right now. Their side, led by G. Farré, has now failed to win any of their last 12 Primera División matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Belgrano at Estadio Único del Parque La Pedrera on Saturday morning. Backing opposition gaffer R. Zielinski to add to their misery by leading his side to either a win or draw can be bet on at top odds of 1.14.
Deportivo Riestra v Instituto - Double Chance - away win or draw
It has been a dreadful succession of results for Deportivo Riestra and their supporters, with their last Primera División win now coming 16 matches ago. Boss J. Benítez simply must find a remedy, and preferably right away. Will Instituto at Estadio Guillermo Laza on Saturday be the one in which they turn it around?
Independiente Rivadavia v Argentinos - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
Argentinos Juniors will be concerned that 1 goal is unlikely to be enough to come out on top against Independiente Rivadavia on Saturday evening. A. Berti's side have the best record in Primera División when it comes to claiming victory despite conceding (5 of their 12 outings), so keeping things tight might be the only viable route for N. Diez Parajon and his Argentinos Juniors charges 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 we could be in for a treat as they face Estudiantes on Saturday night.
Boca Juniors v Independiente - Double Chance - home win or draw
C. Úbeda and his Boca Juniors side have found a useful habit of taking something from just about every Primera División match they play. They're unbeaten in 8 in Primera División now, so G. Quinteros Desábato and his Independiente side will have their work cut out if they're going to get anything 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 all of Barracas Central's last 17 Primera División games. As they face I. Delfino's Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto at Estadio Ciudad de Río Cuarto on Sunday, the smart money will be backing another low-scoring affair.
Newells v San Lorenzo - Double Chance - home win or draw
San Lorenzo have found something of a bogey team in 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 remained unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Estadio Marcelo Alberto Bielsa could be another hard one for D. Ayude & co.
Platense v Gimnasia Mendoza - Double Chance - away win or draw
It has been a dreadful run of results for Platense and their faithful followers, with their last Primera División win now coming 6 matches ago. Boss C. González Peret has to find a solution, and quickly. Will Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza at Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López on Sunday come too soon, or be a turning point?
A. Tucuman v Tig - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Estadio Monumental Presidente Jo may be fully expecting 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 matches this season, the largest number in the competition.
Huracan v Rosario - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Huracán and Rosario Central have laboured through a number of tight clashes in recent years. With each of their last 6 Primera División clashes 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
Games with 5 goals or more don’t come around every day, but Real Racing Club's hardy followers have now waited 15 matches to watch their side serve one up. A frustrating statistic in anyone's book. 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 4 goals or fewer being scored, the bookmakers are making their thoughts on the matter perfectly clear.
Defensa v Tal Cordoba - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It may not be an honour they're especially proud of, but Defensa y Justicia currently lead all opponents in Primera División when it comes to matches where they've been drawing at both the break and the final whistle this term, with their tally now at 6 in 11 games. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency to the test versus Talleres Córdoba at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello on Monday, in a clash that could see yet another tie.
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 sides have clashed 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 a tricky one for F. Sava & co.
Velez v Central Cor - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - under
When setting out at the start of the season, the club's aim must surely have been that Vélez Sarsfield's fans would be given a proper deluge of goals every once in a while. We all need a bit of entertainment in our lives, after all. Unfortunately, however, it has now been 120 games without seeing 5+ goals in a single game, and G. Barros Schelotto and his squad’s recent performances haven't given much reason to believe that that run will ended as they come up against Central Cordoba SdE at Estadio José Amalfitani on Tuesday morning. Odds of 1.01 on under 5.5 goals aren't exactly appealing, but that’s because the market believes it's all-but certain to come in.
Gimnasia v Estudiantes Rio Cuarto - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can predict at least one goalkeeper 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 fixtures where one team or more has not scored (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this campaign - 11 out of 12 played. Both managers will just be desperate that it isn't their team that fails to register.
Independiente v Defensa - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Estadio Libertadores de América plays host as Independiente and Defensa y Justicia clash on Saturday night, in what might just be a real crowd-pleaser. G. Quinteros Desábato's side have the most BTTS + draws of any club in the league - 5 in 12 games. An extension of that record has best odds of 5.00.
Argentinos v A. Tucuman - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona will be anticipating goals galore on Sunday, and with good reason if Atlético Tucumán's past record is anything to go by. Both teams have found the net 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 enjoyed success against Aldosivi in the Primera División recently, putting together a run of 5 straight wins against them. G. Farré will be doing all he can to turn the tide, while G. Costas Makeira will be hoping for 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.
