Primera División stats and tips
Tal Cordoba v Boca Juniors - Double Chance - away win or draw
C. Úbeda and his Boca Juniors side have found a handy way of getting something from pretty much every Primera División match they play. They're unbeaten in 7 in Primera División now, so C. Tevez and his Talleres Córdoba side will have to be at their best if they're going to get anything at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón on Friday.
Gimnasia Mendoza v Velez - Double Chance - away win or draw
What a miserable succession of results for Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza and their supporters, with their last Primera División success now coming 7 matches ago. Boss A. Broggi needs to find a way out, and quickly. Will Vélez Sarsfield at Estadio Feliciano Gambarte on Friday come too soon, or be a turning point?
U Santa Fe v Deportivo Riestra - Double Chance - home win or draw
Following your football club can be draining, and Deportivo Riestra’s long-suffering follows know that only too well right now. Their side, led by J. Benítez, has now failed to win any of their last 15 Primera División matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Unión Santa Fe at Estadio 15 de Abril on Friday night. Backing opposition gaffer L. Madelón to add another to that list by inspiring his lads to a positive result is available at best odds of 1.18.
San Lorenzo v Estudiantes - Double Chance - away win or draw
What a dreadful succession of results for San Lorenzo and their faithful followers, with their last Primera División success now coming 5 matches ago. Boss D. Ayude has to find a remedy, and quickly. Will Estudiantes at Estadio Pedro Bidegaín on Friday provide some relief?
Aldosivi v Estudiantes Rio Cuarto - Win / Draw / Win - home win
It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's exactly what must be done by Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto boss I. Delfino on Saturday. His side face Aldosivi having lost each of their last 4 Primera División games.
Independiente v Racing Club - Double Chance - away win or draw
A satisfyingly long time has passed since Real Racing Club’s joyous fans watched their team get beaten in Primera División. G. Costas Makeira’s boys are now unbeaten in 8 matches, and he'll be full of belief that they can extend that run against Independiente at Estadio Libertadores de América on Saturday night. Best value odds of 1.50 can be taken advantage of to back Real Racing Club to avoid defeat yet again.
Rosario v A. Tucuman - Double Chance - home win or draw
Atlético Tucumán simply have not been able to find a way past Rosario Central in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs have played on 9 occasions since 2019, and Rosario Central have been 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
It's not exactly common to be treated to a 5+ goal thriller, but Huracán's loyal fans have now been waiting 30 matches to watch their team deliver one. That’s too long by anyone’s count. Will the long-overdue deluge of goals finally arrive 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 under 4.5 goals, the bookies are making their thoughts on the matter perfectly clear.
River Plate v Belgrano - Double Chance - home win or draw
M. Gallardo and his River Plate side have gained a useful way of taking something from almost every Primera División game they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in Primera División now, so R. Zielinski and his Belgrano team will have their work cut out if they're to get the win at Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespu on Sunday.
Central Cor v Newells - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can expect at least one club to keep a clean sheet at Estadio Alfredo Terrera on Monday, as L. Pusineri and S. Gómez's teams meet. Central Cordoba SdE have had the most matches where one team or more has not found the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this season - 10 out of 11 played. Both managers will just be desperate that it isn't their side that draws a blank.
Argentinos v Banfield - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Argentinos Juniors have enjoyed success against Banfield in the Primera División of late, putting together a run of 5 straight wins against them. P. Troglio will be hoping for a change in fortunes, while N. Diez Parajon will be hopeful of 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 found a convenient habit of claiming something from almost every Primera División match they play. They're unbeaten in 11 in Primera División now, so D. Oldrá and his Instituto side will have to be at their best if they're to stand any chance at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo on Tuesday.
Deportivo Riestra v Instituto - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring games aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Deportivo Riestra have had too many chances to test that theory this campaign. 11 of their side's encounters 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 able to inject goals into this clash on Saturday? Or will it be more of the same?
Independiente Rivadavia v Argentinos - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
Argentinos Juniors will know that 1 goal is unlikely to be enough to get the win against Independiente Rivadavia on Saturday evening. 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 focusing on defence might be the only viable route for N. Diez Parajon and his Argentinos Juniors team at .
Boca Juniors v Independiente - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at Estadio Alberto José Armando will be banking on goals galore on Saturday, and rightly so if Independiente's recent record is to be continued. Both teams have scored in 8 of their 11 Primera División fixtures this season, a record matched by no other team in the competition.
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 one to watch. L. Pusineri's team lead Primera División in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 7 of their Primera División games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a parking of the bus from D. Dabove's men could keep the score down.
Racing Club v River Plate - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
M. Gallardo won't be looking forward to the prospect of playing Real Racing Club in Primera División on Monday. G. Costas Makeira's side have led at the break and gone on to claim victory at fulltime more often than any other team in the Primera División this term - 4 times in total. That record suggests it may be a long morning for River Plate, and that backing Real Racing Club in the HT FT market would be a strong bet at odds of 4.33.
Defensa v Tal Cordoba - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It might not be a record they're especially proud of, but Defensa y Justicia currently lead all other teams in Primera División when it comes to fixtures drawn at both halftime and fulltime this season, with their tally now at 6 in 11 outings. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency on the line against Talleres Córdoba at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello on Monday, in a game that could see yet another stalemate.
Velez v Central Cor - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can expect at least one set of players to keep a clean sheet at Estadio José Amalfitani on Tuesday, as L. Pusineri and G. Barros Schelotto's sides clash. Central Cordoba SdE have had the highest number of fixtures where one team or more has not found the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this campaign - 10 out of 11 played. Both bosses will just be desperate that it isn't their team that fails to register.
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.
