Primera División stats and tips
Independiente v Instituto - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Independiente's recent games in Primera División have delivered spills and thrills aplenty, but it has been a while since J. Viera Castro's side gave their followers the kind of goal-fest we all really want to see. There have been under 4.5 goals in all of their last 18 outings.
Boca Juniors v U Santa Fe - Both Teams To Score - yes
Unión Santa Fe fans have been spoilt with entertainment at each end when their side plays in Primera División, with both teams having scored at least one goal in every one of their last 5 outings. Boca Juniors on Saturday morning may well be another thriller.
Independiente Rivadavia v Gimnasia - Both Teams To Score - yes
Gimnasia La Plata supporters have become used to drama at each end when their team plays in Primera División, with both sides having found the net in all of their last 5 outings. Independiente Rivadavia on Saturday morning may well be another thriller.
Defensa v San Lorenzo - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring encounters aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of San Lorenzo have had too many chances to test that theory this term. 24 of their side's games in Primera División have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will J. Vaccari and his Defensa y Justicia team be capable of adding some goalmouth action into this clash on Saturday? Or will it be same old same old?
A. Tucuman v Barracas - Double Chance - home win or draw
Newells v Lanus - Double Chance - home win or draw
F. Kudelka and his Newell's Old Boys side have found a handy way of getting something from almost every Primera División match they play. They're unbeaten in 6 in Primera División now, so M. Pellegrino and his Lanús charges will have their work cut out if they're to get the win at Estadio Marcelo Alberto Bielsa on Saturday.
Huracan v Aldosivi - Double Chance - home 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 Huracán’s joyous fans watched their lads lose in Primera División. D. Martínez’s squad is now unbeaten in 5 games, and he will be telling them that they can keep going against Aldosivi at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó on Sunday evening. Top odds of 1.13 are available to back Huracán to either win or draw.
Tal Cordoba v Belgrano - Double Chance - away win or draw
Talleres Córdoba simply have not been able to find a way past Belgrano in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs have met on 8 occasions since 2023, and Belgrano have been unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón could be a tricky one for O. De Felippe & co.
Argentinos v Tig - Win / Draw / Win - home win
It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's what's required of Tigre boss D. Dabove on Sunday. His players face Argentinos Juniors having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 3 Primera División games.
Estudiantes Rio Cuarto v Racing Club - Win / Draw / Win - away win
It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's what's required of Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto boss R. Forestello on Monday. His players face Real Racing Club having lost each of their last 3 Primera División games.
Deportivo Riestra v Central Cor - Double Chance - away win or draw
Trekking across the width and breadth of the country to support your club can be a thankless task, and Deportivo Riestra’s long-suffering follows know that feeling especially well right now. Their club, led by G. Duró, has now failed to win any of their last 6 Primera División matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Central Cordoba SdE at Estadio Guillermo Laza on Monday night. Backing opposition boss S. Domínguez to add another to that list by guiding his team to anything other than a defeat can be backed at top odds of 1.91.
Estudiantes v Gimnasia Mendoza - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can back at least one club to keep a clean sheet at Estadio Ciudad de La Plata on Monday, as A. Medina Reobasco and D. Franco Gatti's sides clash. Estudiantes have had the highest number of fixtures where one team or more has failed to score (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this term - 21 out of 27 played. Both gaffers will just be desperate that it isn't their side that flounders in front of goal.
Velez v Platense - Double Chance - home 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 happy supporters watched their lads suffer defeat in Primera División. G. Barros Schelotto’s squad is now unbeaten in 10 outings, and he'll be full of belief that they can keep going against Platense at Estadio José Amalfitani on Monday night. Top odds of 1.17 are available to back Vélez Sarsfield the double chance market.
Banfield v Rosario - Both Teams To Score - yes
Banfield fans have come to expect drama at each end when their side plays in Primera División, with both teams having scored at least one goal in every one of their last 5 games. Rosario Central on Tuesday morning could be another goal-fest.
Aldosivi v Sarmiento - Double Chance - away win or draw
Aldosivi have found something of a bogey team in Sarmiento in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs have met on 5 occasions since 2021, and Sarmiento have remained unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at Estadio José María Minella could be a really difficult one for J. Sanguinetti & co.
Gimnasia v A. Tucuman - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
J. Falcioni won't be too excited about the prospect of playing Gimnasia La Plata in Primera División on Friday. G. Pereyra's side have led at halftime and gone on to claim victory at FT in more games than any other team in the Primera División this season - 10 times in total. That stat suggests it could well be a long night for Atlético Tucumán, and that backing Gimnasia La Plata in the halftime fulltime market could be a smart move at odds of 3.60.
Instituto v Boca Juniors - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
is the venue as Boca Juniors and Instituto go head-to-head on Friday night, in what could prove to be a proper ding-dong battle. R. Arruabarrena's side have the highest number of score draws of any team in the competition - 10 in 27 games. An extension of that record has best odds of 4.75.
U Santa Fe v Defensa - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you're not busy on Saturday morning, then the clash between Unión Santa Fe and Defensa y Justicia could be worth checking out. L. Madelón's team lead Primera División in most matches with more than 2 goals scored so far this season. 17 of their Primera División games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from J. Vaccari's men could ruin the spectacle.
Barracas v Huracan - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Central Cor v Estudiantes - Both Teams To Score - no
If the form book is to be believed, we can back at least one club to keep a clean sheet at Estadio Alfredo Terrera on Saturday, as A. Medina Reobasco and S. Domínguez's sides clash. Estudiantes 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 term - 21 out of 27 played. Both managers will just be desperate that it isn't their them that draws a blank.
San Lorenzo v Deportivo Riestra - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring fixtures aren't always entirely dull, but fans of San Lorenzo have had too many chances to test that theory this season. 24 of their side's encounters in Primera División have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will G. Duró and his Deportivo Riestra side be able to inject goalmouth action into this clash on Sunday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?
Rosario v Independiente Rivadavia - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Estadio Dr. Lisandro de la Torre will be banking on goals galore on Sunday, and with good reason if Independiente Rivadavia's past record is to be continued. There have been a goal in both nets in 18 of their 27 Primera División matches this season, the largest number in the competition.
Racing Club v Belgrano - Double Chance - home win or draw
Belgrano simply have not been able to find a way past Real Racing Club in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs have played on 8 occasions since 2019, and Real Racing Club have gone unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo could be another hard one for R. Zielinski & co.
Tal Cordoba v Independiente - Both Teams To Score - yes
When Talleres Córdoba and Independiente have met in the Primera División, goals have been the order of the day. Both teams have found the net in each of their last 6 matches against one another, so the Estadio Juan Domingo Perón faithful could be in for another thriller on Monday morning.
