Primera División stats and tips
Aldosivi v Estudiantes Rio Cuarto - Win / Draw / Win - home win
This season in particular, Aldosivi's loyal followers have come to expect a lot from their club and, according to our users, they may just have them met on Saturday evening. 8 of our tipsters are predicting that G. Farré's side will claim victory as I. Delfino's Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto visit Estadio José María Minella. Will the wisdom of the crowd be proved correct? Or could we be set for a big upset?
Independiente v Racing Club - Double Chance - away win or draw
G. Costas Makeira and his Real Racing Club side have found a convenient habit of getting something from almost every Primera División match they play. They're unbeaten in 8 in Primera División now, so G. Quinteros Desábato and his Independiente team will have their work cut out if they're going to get anything at Estadio Libertadores de América on Saturday.
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 teams 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
Common or not, every football fan loves to see a match in which 5 goals or more are scored, but Huracán's hardy supporters have now been waiting 30 matches to see their side serve one up. That’s too long by anyone’s count. Will that much-needed goal-fest finally come around 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 UK's leading bookmakers certainly don’t think so.
River Plate v Belgrano - Double Chance - home win or draw
Luckily for them, it has been quite some time since River Plate’s happy followers watched their side suffer defeat in Primera División. M. Gallardo’s men are now unbeaten in 5 games, and he will be hopeful that they can extend that run against Belgrano at Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespu on Sunday night. Best 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
If the form book is to be believed, we can predict at least one defence 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 season - 10 out of 11 played. Both managers will just be hoping it isn't their team 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 desperate to stop the rot, 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 side have gained a convenient habit of claiming something from pretty much every Primera División game they play. They're unbeaten in 11 in Primera División now, so D. Oldrá and his Instituto side will have their work cut out if they're going to get anything at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo on Tuesday.
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 season. 12 of their side's games 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 goalmouth action into this match 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 outings), so keeping things tight 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 matches has had two or more goals, suggesting that fans could get their money's worth as they go head to head with Estudiantes on Saturday night.
Boca Juniors v Independiente - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Estadio Alberto José Armando will be banking on action at both ends on Saturday, and they're right to, if Independiente's recent record is anything to go by. Both teams have scored in 8 of their 11 Primera División fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.
Newells v San Lorenzo - Double Chance - home win or draw
San Lorenzo have found something of a bogey team in Newell's Old Boys in the Primera División in recent years. The two sides have clashed 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 really difficult one for D. Ayude & co.
Platense v Gimnasia Mendoza - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under
Supporters heading to Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López this Sunday to watch Platense and Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza might already be fearing a tedious evening, and with good reason. C. González Peret's men have played their part in 5 goalless draws this term, more than any team in Primera División. Will anyone score? You can bet against it at best odds of 5.50.
A. Tucuman v Tig - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you're not busy on Sunday night, then the clash between Atlético Tucumán and Tigre could be the one for you. 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 prevent more of the same.
Huracan v Rosario - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Rosario Central and Huracán have played out a number of cagey affairs in recent years. With each of their last 6 Primera División meetings ending with under 2.5 goals, the attackers picked by J. Almirón Quintana and D. Martínez may be in for a long day night.
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.
