Primera División stats and tips
Rosario v Sarmiento - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Rosario Central's recent matches in Primera División have delivered spills and thrills aplenty, but it has been too long since J. Almirón Quintana's charges treated their fans to the kind of wild ride they'll remember for years to come. There have been no more than 4 goals in all of their last 69 games.
Tal Cordoba v Deportivo Riestra - Double Chance - home win or draw
It has been a miserable run of results for Deportivo Riestra and their supporters, with their last Primera División victory now coming 17 matches ago. Boss J. Benítez simply must find a remedy, and sooner rather than later. Will Talleres Córdoba at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón on Monday come too soon, or be a turning point?
Barracas v Belgrano - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
There have been 3 goals or less in each of Barracas Central's last 18 Primera División outings. As they go head to head with R. Zielinski's Belgrano at Estadio Claudio Chiqui Tapia on Monday, those in the know may well be backing that run to continue.
Banfield v Independiente Rivadavia - Half Time / Full Time - away / away
Those that favour the half time/full time market should pay attention to Independiente Rivadavia. A. Berti's side has been remarkably dominant in recent Primera División matches, holding the lead at HT in each of their last 3 and going on to win them all at full time. Banfield on Monday night can't come soon enough.
Central Cor v Platense - Double Chance - home win or draw
Central Cordoba SdE should come out of their clash with Platense with a positive result, at least that's if our tipsters are on the money. 5 of our tipsters are predicting L. Pusineri's side in the double chance market on their own patch at Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades in Primera División on Monday nightmeaning they will not lose, although the game could end level..
San Lorenzo v Velez - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Vélez Sarsfield and San Lorenzo have played out a number of tight clashes in recent years. With each of their last 5 Primera División matches seeing under 2.5 goals, the forwards picked by G. Barros Schelotto and D. Ayude may be in for a long day night.
Tig v Huracan - Double Chance - away win or draw
Following your favourite footy team year after year can be draining, and Tigre’s long-suffering follows know that feeling especially well right now. Their team, led by D. Dabove, is now winless in their previous 8 Primera División matches, and the clouds hardly look like parting against Huracán at Estadio José Dellagiovanna on Tuesday morning. Backing opposition gaffer D. Martínez to add to their misery by leading his lads to either a win or draw can be backed at top odds of 1.67.
Defensa v Boca Juniors - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It might not be an honour they're all that enamoured with, but Defensa y Justicia currently lead all opposition 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 14 matches. They will put that unwanted consistency to the test versus Boca Juniors at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello on Friday, in a match that could see yet another tie.
Deportivo Riestra v Independiente - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at will be anticipating goals galore on Friday, and they're right to, if Independiente's recent record is to be continued. There have been a goal in both nets in 10 of their 14 Primera División matches this season, a record matched by no other team in the competition.
Estudiantes Rio Cuarto v Rosario - Both Teams To Score - no
Going on form alone, we can predict at least one side to keep a clean sheet at on Friday, as I. Delfino and J. Almirón Quintana's teams meet. Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto have had the highest number of games where one team or more has not found the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this campaign - 12 out of 14 played. Both bosses will just be hoping it isn't their them that draws a blank.
Lanus v Central Cor - Double Chance - away win or draw
Lanús have consistently struggled against Central Cordoba SdE in the Primera División in recent years. The two sides have met on 6 occasions since 2022, and Central Cordoba SdE have remained unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at Estadio Ciudad de Lanús - Néstor could be a really difficult one for M. Pellegrino & co.
Platense v San Lorenzo - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under
Supporters heading to Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López this Saturday to watch Platense and San Lorenzo might already be concerned about a boring evening, and rightly so. C. González Peret's charges have been involved in 5 matches with under 0.5 goals this campaign, the highest number of any team in Primera División. Will anybody find the net? You can bet against it at leading odds of 5.00.
Estudiantes v Tal Cordoba - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Estudiantes and Talleres Córdoba have played out a number of low-scoring matches in recent years. With each of their last 6 Primera División clashes having under 2.5 goals, the attackers picked by E. Domínguez and C. Tevez may be in for a long day night.
River Plate v Aldosivi - Win / Draw / Win - home win
River Plate have dominated Aldosivi in the Primera División in recent years, putting together a run of 5 straight wins against them. G. Farré will be doing all he can to turn the tide, while M. Gallardo will be expecting more of the same on Sunday morning.
Independiente Rivadavia v Gimnasia Mendoza - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza will know that 1 goal probably won't be enough to get the win against Independiente Rivadavia on Sunday evening. A. Berti's side have the best record in Primera División when it comes to winning games in which both teams are on the scoresheet (6 of their 13 matches), so focusing on defence might be the only viable route for A. Broggi and his Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza team at .
Belgrano v Gimnasia - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
R. Zielinski won't be looking forward to facing Gimnasia La Plata in Primera División on Sunday. A. Orfila's side have been winning at HT and gone on to win at fulltime more often than any other team in the Primera División this season - 5 times in total. That record suggests it may be a demoralising night for Belgrano, and that backing Gimnasia La Plata in the HT FT market would be a great shout at odds of 7.50.
Newells v Instituto - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - over
If you're looking for goals this Sunday, you should consider heading down to Estadio Marcelo Alberto Bielsa. 3 of Newell's Old Boys's Primera División matches this campaign have ended up with more than 5 goals - the most in the competition. Who would bet against an extension of that record, especially with odds of 13.00 available?
A. Tucuman v Banfield - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you're not busy on Monday morning, then the clash between Atlético Tucumán and Banfield could be one to watch. L. Pusineri's team lead Primera División in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 8 of their Primera División games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from P. Troglio's men could prevent more of the same.
Huracan v Argentinos - Double Chance - home win or draw
Argentinos Juniors simply have not been able to find a way past Huracán in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 8 occasions since 2021, and Huracán have remained unbeaten in them all. Tuesday's game at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó could be another hard one for N. Diez Parajon & co.
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.
