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 recently, 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 hoping for more of the same on Monday night.
Instituto v Defensa - Double Chance - away win or draw
M. Soso and his Defensa y Justicia troops have gained a handy knack of taking something from almost every Primera División match they play. They're unbeaten in 11 in Primera División now, so D. Oldrá and his Instituto charges will need to be on top of their game if they're to get the win at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo on Tuesday.
Belgrano v Aldosivi - Double Chance - home win or draw
Following your football club can be draining, and Aldosivi’s hardy follows know that feeling especially 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 another to that list by leading his lads to a positive result can be bet on at top odds of 1.15.
Deportivo Riestra v Instituto - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring encounters aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Deportivo Riestra have had too many chances to test that theory this season. 12 of their side's matches in Primera División have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will D. Oldrá and his Instituto team be able to inject spice into this encounter on Saturday? Or will it be same old same old?
Independiente Rivadavia v Argentinos - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
Argentinos Juniors will be aware that 1 goal probably won't 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 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 team at .
Estudiantes v U Santa Fe - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over
All 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 battle it out with Estudiantes on Saturday night.
Boca Juniors v Independiente - Double Chance - home win or draw
A satisfyingly long time has passed since Boca Juniors’s joyous supporters watched their lads suffer defeat in Primera División. C. Úbeda’s boys are now unbeaten in 8 games, and he'll be full of belief that they can extend that run against Independiente at Estadio Alberto José Armando on Saturday night. Top odds of 1.29 are available to back Boca Juniors to either win or draw.
Estudiantes Rio Cuarto v Barracas - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can back at least one defence to keep a clean sheet at on Sunday, as I. Delfino and R. Insúa's sides clash. Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto have had the most matches where one team or more has failed to score (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this campaign - 11 out of 12 played. Both gaffers will just be hoping it isn't their team that draws a blank.
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 teams have played 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 tricky one for D. Ayude & co.
Platense v Gimnasia Mendoza - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under
Fans travelling to Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López this Sunday to watch Platense and Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza might already be fearing a tedious evening, and who could blame them? C. González Peret's charges have played their part in 5 matches with under 0.5 goals this campaign, the highest number of any team in Primera División. Will anyone break the deadlock? You can bet against it at top odds of 5.50.
A. Tucuman v Tig - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you're not busy 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 more than 2 goals scored so far this season. 7 of their Primera División games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from D. Dabove's men could keep the score down.
Huracan v Rosario - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Huracán and Rosario Central have been involved in a number of cagey affairs in recent years. With each of their last 6 Primera División matches seeing under 2.5 goals, the forwards 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
Real Racing Club's recent matches in Primera División have delivered decent entertainment, and a fair amount of goals, but it has been some time since G. Costas Makeira's players treated their fans to one of those games that has you waxing lyrical in the pub afterwards. There have been no more than 4 goals in every one of their last 15 matches.
Defensa v Tal Cordoba - 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 other teams in Primera División when it comes to games drawn at both halftime and fulltime this campaign, 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 have consistently struggled against Gimnasia La Plata in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs 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 another hard one for F. Sava & co.
Velez v Central Cor - Both Teams To Score - no
Going on form alone, we can back at least one defence to earn a clean sheet at Estadio José Amalfitani on Tuesday, as L. Pusineri and G. Barros Schelotto's teams meet. Central Cordoba SdE have had the most fixtures 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 managers will just be desperate that it isn't their side that flounders in front of goal.
Argentinos v A. Tucuman - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like backing goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming match between Atlético Tucumán and Argentinos Juniors could be the one for you. L. Pusineri's side have lost 5 games this season in which both teams have scored. That's a record in Primera División.
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.
