Primera División stats and tips
Huracan v Deportivo Riestra - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring fixtures aren't always boring, but fans of Deportivo Riestra have had lots of chances to test that theory this campaign. 19 of their side's encounters in Primera División have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will D. Martínez and his Huracán side be able to inject spice into this match on Sunday? Or will it be same old same old?
Newells v Banfield - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - under
If you're looking for goals by the truck-load on Sunday morning, Newell's Old Boys v Banfield on Sunday morning may not be the one to watch. Each of Banfield's last 90 Primera División games has had under 5.5 goals, and it seems unlikely that P. Troglio's side break that run of form in the near future.
Barracas v Platense - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Sarmiento v Estudiantes - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can expect at least one side to keep a clean sheet at Estadio Eva Perón de Junín on Sunday, as A. Medina Reobasco and F. Sava's sides clash. Estudiantes have had the highest number of games where one team or more has failed to find the back of the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this campaign - 18 out of 22 played. Both bosses will just be praying it isn't their them that flounders in front of goal.
Belgrano v Defensa - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
We all love a game in which more than 4 goals fly in, but Defensa y Justicia's long-suffering fans have now been waiting 11 matches to see their team take part in one. Certainly they could be forgiven for craving some proper excitement by now. Will the long-overdue deluge of goals finally arrive on Sunday night, as they face R. Zielinski's Belgrano at Estadio Julio César Villagra? With odds of 1.05 on there being under 4.5 goals, the bookies clearly have their doubts.
River Plate v Velez - Double Chance - away win or draw
We all dream of our club suddenly becoming invincible, and for some fans that dream comes true. It has been weeks since Vélez Sarsfield’s joyous fans watched their lads suffer defeat in Primera División. G. Barros Schelotto’s squad is now unbeaten in 5 matches, and he will be expecting that they can keep that streak running against River Plate at Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespu on Sunday night. Best value odds of 2.00 can be grabbed to back Vélez Sarsfield the double chance market.
Racing Club v Boca Juniors - Win / Draw / Win - away win
It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's what's required of Real Racing Club boss J. Vojvoda on Monday. His players face Boca Juniors having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 3 Primera División outings.
Tig v Central Cor - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - under
There are some supporters who appreciate the tension of a low-scoring fixture, and they would be well advised to keep an eye on Tigre v Central Cordoba SdE. Each of Tigre's last 3 Primera División games has had under 1.5 goals, and that form looks set to continue.
Lanus v Argentinos - Double Chance - away win or draw
Lanús have found something of a bogey team in Argentinos Juniors in the Primera División in recent years. The two sides have met on 5 occasions since 2022, and Argentinos Juniors have been unbeaten in them all. Tuesday's game at Estadio Ciudad de Lanús - Néstor could be a really difficult one for M. Pellegrino & co.
Tal Cordoba v Rosario - Double Chance - home win or draw
Rosario Central have found something of a bogey team in Talleres Córdoba in the Primera División in recent years. The two teams have met on 5 occasions since 2024, and Talleres Córdoba have gone unbeaten in them all. Tuesday's game at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón could be another hard one for J. Almirón Quintana & co.
U Santa Fe v Sarmiento - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you're not busy on Friday night, then the clash between Unión Santa Fe and Sarmiento could be worth checking out. L. Madelón's team lead Primera División in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 13 of their Primera División games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only an entirely negative game plan from F. Sava's men could ruin the spectacle.
Boca Juniors v Lanus - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Estadio Alberto José Armando plays host as Boca Juniors and Lanús go head-to-head on Saturday morning, in what might just be a tight affair. R. Arruabarrena's side have the highest number of score draws of any team in the competition - 8 in 22 games. An extension of that record has best odds of 5.50.
Deportivo Riestra v Velez - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
Supporters have seen 3 goals or less in every one of Deportivo Riestra's last 28 Primera División matches. As they clash with G. Barros Schelotto's Vélez Sarsfield at Estadio Claudio Chiqui Tapia on Saturday, tipsters will be backing another low-scoring affair.
Rosario v Gimnasia - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Rosario Central have enjoyed success against Gimnasia La Plata in the Primera División recently, putting together a run of 5 straight wins against them. G. Pereyra will be hoping for a change in fortunes, while J. Almirón Quintana will be hoping for more of the same on Saturday night.
Huracan v Estudiantes Rio Cuarto - Double Chance - home win or draw
Being a football fan can be a tough old business, and Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto’s dogged old follows know that only too well at the moment. Their side, led by R. Forestello, has now failed to win any of their last 5 Primera División matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Huracán at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó on Saturday night. Backing opposition boss D. Martínez to add another to that list by inspiring his lads to a positive result is available at top odds of 1.10.
A. Tucuman v Belgrano - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like tipping goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming match between Atlético Tucumán and Belgrano might well be worth a look. J. Falcioni's side have lost 7 games this season in which both teams have found the net. That's a record in Primera División.
Tal Cordoba v Central Cor - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - over
Central Cordoba SdE have been Primera División's showmen this term, at least in when it comes to producing high scoring matches. No other club comes close to their record of having been involved in 1 six-goal thrillers this season. Can they make it 2 when they take on Talleres Córdoba on Sunday morning? With odds of 23.00 on offer, it might be worth backing.
Banfield v River Plate - Both Teams To Score - yes
When Banfield and River Plate have met in the Primera División, they've delivered proper entertainment. Both teams have found the net in each of their last 7 matches against one another, so the Estadio Florencio Solá faithful could be in for another thriller on Sunday evening.
Argentinos v Aldosivi - Double Chance - home win or draw
Trekking across the width and breadth of the country to support your club can be a tough old business, and Aldosivi’s long-suffering follows know that only too well right now. Their club, led by I. Damonte, has now failed to win any of their last 22 Primera División matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Argentinos Juniors at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday night. Backing opposition boss N. Diez Parajon to add another to that list by inspiring his side to either a win or draw can be backed at top odds of 1.07.
Independiente v Gimnasia Mendoza - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - over
If you're looking for goals this Sunday, you might want to think about betting on the game at Estadio Libertadores de América. 3 of Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza's Primera División matches this campaign have wound up with over 4.5 goals - the most in the competition. Who would rule out another, especially with odds of 10.00 available?
Independiente Rivadavia v Racing Club - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at may be anticipating plenty goalmouth action on Monday, and rightly so if Independiente Rivadavia's recent record is anything to go by. There have been a goal in both nets in 15 of their 23 Primera División fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.
Estudiantes v Newells - Double Chance - home win or draw
Newell's Old Boys have found something of a bogey team in Estudiantes in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs have met on 7 occasions since 2023, and Estudiantes have gone unbeaten in them all. Monday's game at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes could be another hard one for F. Kudelka & co.
Instituto v San Lorenzo - Double Chance - home win or draw
D. Flores and his Instituto troops have developed a handy way of taking something from almost every Primera División game they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in Primera División now, so N. Gorosito and his San Lorenzo side will need to be on top of their game if they're to stand any chance at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón on Tuesday.
Tig v Barracas - Double Chance - away win or draw
Tigre have consistently struggled against Barracas Central in the Primera División in recent years. The two teams have met on 6 occasions since 2022, and Barracas Central have gone unbeaten in them all. Tuesday's game at Estadio José Dellagiovanna could be a tricky one for D. Dabove & co.
Racing Club v A. Tucuman - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like backing goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming clash between Atlético Tucumán and Real Racing Club might well be worth a look. J. Falcioni's side have lost 7 games this term in which both teams have got on the scoresheet. That's the highest number in Primera División.
