Primera División stats and tips
Rosario v A. Tucuman - Double Chance - home win or draw
Atlético Tucumán have found something of a bogey team in Rosario Central in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 9 occasions since 2019, and Rosario Central have remained unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Estadio 15 de Abril could be a really difficult one for L. Pusineri & co.
Gimnasia v Huracan - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
The 5+ goal game may be a rare beast, but Huracán's loyal supporters have now waited 30 matches to watch their club take part in one. Certainly they could be forgiven for craving some proper excitement by now. Will the run be broken on Sunday evening, as they face A. Orfila's Gimnasia La Plata at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo? With odds of 1.03 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the bookmakers are making their thoughts on the matter perfectly clear.
River Plate v Belgrano - 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 River Plate’s happy supporters watched their side suffer defeat in Primera División. M. Gallardo’s boys are now unbeaten in 5 games, and he will be telling them that they can keep that streak running against Belgrano at Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespu on Sunday night. Top odds of 1.12 can be taken advantage of to back River Plate to either win or draw.
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 enjoyed success against Banfield in the Primera División in recent years, with their streak now extending to 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 team have found a useful way of taking something from almost every Primera División fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 11 in Primera División now, so D. Oldrá and his Instituto team 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
Being a football fan can be a tough old business, and Aldosivi’s long-suffering follows know that better than most right now. Their team, led by G. Farré, has not won any of their last 12 Primera División matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Belgrano at Estadio Único del Parque La Pedrera on Saturday morning. Backing opposition gaffer R. Zielinski to add to their misery by inspiring his team to a positive result is available at top odds of 1.15.
Deportivo Riestra v Instituto - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring games aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Deportivo Riestra have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this term. 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 side be capable of adding some goals into this fixture on Saturday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?
Independiente Rivadavia v Argentinos - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
Argentinos Juniors will be concerned that 1 goal is unlikely to be enough to get the win against 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 outings), so defence first might be the best route to victory for N. Diez Parajon and his Argentinos Juniors charges at .
Estudiantes v U Santa Fe - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over
Each 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 go head to head with Estudiantes on Saturday night.
Boca Juniors v Independiente - Double Chance - home win or draw
Weeks have passed since Boca Juniors’s joyous fans watched their team lose in Primera División. C. Úbeda’s men are now unbeaten in 8 outings, and he'll be expecting that they can extend that run against Independiente at Estadio Alberto José Armando on Saturday night. Top odds of 1.29 can be grabbed 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 predict at least one club 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 fixtures where one team or more has not found the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this term - 11 out of 12 played. Both gaffers will just be desperate that it isn't their them that fails to register.
Newells v San Lorenzo - Double Chance - home win or draw
San Lorenzo simply have not been able to find a way past Newell's Old Boys in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs have met 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 worrying about a boring evening, and rightly so. C. González Peret's men have been involved in 5 nil-nils this season, the highest number of any team in Primera División. Will anybody break the deadlock? You can bet against it at best odds of 5.50.
A. Tucuman v Tig - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you fancy a thriller on Sunday night, then the clash between Atlético Tucumán and Tigre could be worth checking out. 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 an entirely negative game plan from D. Dabove's men could prevent more of the same.
Huracan v Rosario - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Huracán and Rosario Central have been involved in a number of low-scoring matches in recent years. With each of their last 6 Primera División meetings seeing 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 outings in Primera División have delivered goals and thrills along the way, but it has been too long since G. Costas Makeira's players provided their supporters with the kind of goal-fest we all really want to see. There have been no more than 4 goals in every one of their last 15 outings.
Defensa v Tal Cordoba - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It may not be a record they're particularly proud of, but Defensa y Justicia currently lead all opposition in Primera División when it comes to fixtures in which they have been level at both halftime and fulltime this season, with their tally now at 6 in 11 matches. They will put that unwanted consistency to the test versus Talleres Córdoba at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello on Monday, in a match that could see yet another stalemate.
Sarmiento v Gimnasia - Double Chance - away win or draw
Sarmiento simply have not been able to find a way past 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 been 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 victor, then the upcoming fixture between Atlético Tucumán and Argentinos Juniors could warrant a closer look. L. Pusineri's side have lost 5 games this campaign in which both teams have scored. That's the highest number 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.
