Primera División stats and tips
Instituto v Defensa - Double Chance - away win or draw
M. Soso and his Defensa y Justicia side have developed a convenient way of getting something from almost every Primera División game 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 stand any chance at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo on Tuesday.
Belgrano v Aldosivi - Double Chance - home win or draw
What a dismal set of results for Aldosivi and their fans, with their last Primera División success now coming 12 games ago. Boss G. Farré simply must find a way out, and quickly. Will Belgrano at Estadio Único del Parque La Pedrera on Saturday provide some relief?
Deportivo Riestra v Instituto - Double Chance - away win or draw
What a miserable set of results for Deportivo Riestra and their fans, with their last Primera División success now coming 16 games ago. Boss J. Benítez needs to find a way out, and preferably right away. Will Instituto at Estadio Guillermo Laza on Saturday come too soon, or be a turning point?
Independiente Rivadavia v Argentinos - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
Argentinos Juniors will be concerned that 1 goal may not 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 conceding yet still claiming victory (5 of their 12 matches), so keeping things tight might be the best route to victory for N. Diez Parajon and his Argentinos Juniors men 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 entertainment could be on its way as they battle it out with Estudiantes on Saturday night.
Boca Juniors v Independiente - Double Chance - home win or draw
Every now and then we get a golden spell in football, and it has now been a while since since Boca Juniors’s joyous supporters watched their side get beaten in Primera División. C. Úbeda’s boys are now unbeaten in 8 games, and he will be full of belief that they can keep going against Independiente at Estadio Alberto José Armando on Saturday night. Best odds of 1.29 can be grabbed to back Boca Juniors to avoid defeat yet again.
Estudiantes Rio Cuarto v Barracas - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
Supporters have seen 3 goals or less in each of Barracas Central's last 17 Primera División outings. As they face I. Delfino's Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto at Estadio Ciudad de Río Cuarto on Sunday, tipsters may well be backing another low-scoring affair.
Newells v San Lorenzo - Double Chance - home win or draw
San Lorenzo have consistently struggled against Newell's Old Boys in the Primera División in recent years. The two sides have played on 5 occasions since 2022, and Newell's Old Boys have been 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
Supporting your team home and away can be draining, and Platense’s dogged old follows know that only too well right now. Their team, led by C. González Peret, has not won any of their last 6 Primera División matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza at Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López on Sunday evening. Backing opposition boss A. Broggi to extend the run by guiding his side to anything other than a defeat can be bet on at top odds of 1.73.
A. Tucuman v Tig - Double Chance - home win or draw
What a miserable succession of results for Tigre and their supporters, with their last Primera División success now coming 7 games ago. Boss D. Dabove needs to find a remedy, and quickly. Will Atlético Tucumán at Estadio Monumental Presidente Jo on Sunday come too soon, or be a turning point?
Huracan v Rosario - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Huracán and Rosario Central have played out a number of low-scoring matches in recent years. With each of their last 6 Primera División matches having under 2.5 goals, the attackers 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 games in Primera División have delivered goals and thrills along the way, but it has been too long since G. Costas Makeira's players gave their followers one of those games that has you waxing lyrical in the pub afterwards. There have been no more than 4 goals in each of their last 15 games.
Defensa v Tal Cordoba - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It might not be an honour they're particularly enamoured with, but Defensa y Justicia currently lead all other teams in Primera División when it comes to fixtures drawn at both HT and FT this campaign, with their tally now at 6 in 12 outings. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency on the line versus Talleres Córdoba at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello on Monday, in a fixture 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 teams 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 a tricky one for F. Sava & co.
Velez v Central Cor - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - under
If you're looking for a proper goal-fest on Tuesday morning, Vélez Sarsfield v Central Cordoba SdE on Tuesday morning may be one to avoid. All of Vélez Sarsfield's last 120 Primera División outings has had under 5.5 goals, and nobody's expecting that G. Barros Schelotto's side end that streak any time soon.
Gimnasia v Estudiantes Rio Cuarto - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can back at least one side to keep a clean sheet at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo on Saturday, as I. Delfino and A. Orfila's sides clash. Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto have had the highest number of games 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 bosses will just be desperate that it isn't their them that fails to register.
Independiente v Defensa - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Estadio Libertadores de América is the backdrop as Independiente and Defensa y Justicia clash on Saturday night, in what might just be a tight affair. G. Quinteros Desábato's side have the most BTTS + draws of any team in the competition - 5 in 12 matches. An extension of that record is available at 5.00.
Argentinos v A. Tucuman - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona may be banking on action at both ends on Sunday, and with good reason if Atlético Tucumán's recent record is anything to go by. Both teams have scored in 8 of their 12 Primera División fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.
Aldosivi v Racing Club - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Real Racing Club have enjoyed meeting Aldosivi in the Primera División of late, with a run of 5 straight wins against them. G. Farré will be hoping for a change in fortunes, 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.
