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
It has been a dismal run of results for Aldosivi and their fans, with their last Primera División victory now coming 12 matches ago. Boss G. Farré simply must find a remedy, and preferably right away. Will Belgrano at Estadio Único del Parque La Pedrera on Saturday be the one in which they turn it around?
Deportivo Riestra v Instituto - Double Chance - away win or draw
It has been a dismal set of results for Deportivo Riestra and their fans, with their last Primera División victory now coming 16 games ago. Boss J. Benítez simply must find a way out, and sooner rather than later. Will Instituto at Estadio Guillermo Laza on Saturday be the one in which they turn it around?
Independiente Rivadavia v Argentinos - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
Argentinos Juniors will know that 1 goal is unlikely to 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 claiming victory despite conceding (5 of their 12 games), so defence first 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
Each of Unión Santa Fe's last 6 Primera División games 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
A satisfyingly long time has passed since Boca Juniors’s merry followers watched their lads lose in Primera División. C. Úbeda’s squad is now unbeaten in 8 matches, and he'll be hopeful that they can keep that streak running against Independiente at Estadio Alberto José Armando on Saturday night. Top odds of 1.29 are available 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 every one of Barracas Central's last 17 Primera División outings. As they go head to head with I. Delfino's Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto at Estadio Ciudad de Río Cuarto on Sunday, tipsters should 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 teams have played on 5 occasions since 2022, and Newell's Old Boys have remained 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 - Double Chance - away win or draw
Being a football fan can be hard going, and Platense’s long-suffering follows know that feeling especially well at the moment. Their club, 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 gaffer A. Broggi to add to their misery by guiding his team to anything other than a defeat is available at best odds of 1.73.
A. Tucuman v Tig - Double Chance - home win or draw
Following your football club can be a pretty dispiriting experience at times, and Tigre’s hardy follows know that better than most right now. Their team, led by D. Dabove, is now winless in their previous 7 Primera División matches, and the clouds hardly look like parting against Atlético Tucumán at Estadio Monumental Presidente Jo on Sunday night. Backing opposition boss L. Pusineri to extend the run by guiding his lads to a positive result can be backed at best odds of 1.44.
Huracan v Rosario - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Huracán and Rosario Central have laboured through a number of cagey affairs in recent years. With each of their last 6 Primera División meetings having under 2.5 goals, the attackers picked by D. Martínez and J. Almirón Quintana may be in for a tough night.
Racing Club v River Plate - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
The 5+ goal game may be a rare beast, but Real Racing Club's loyal fans have now had to wait 15 matches to watch their side serve one up. Certainly they could be forgiven for craving some proper excitement by now. Could the streak come to an end on Monday morning, as they face M. Gallardo's River Plate at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo ? With odds of 1.05 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the bookies are making their thoughts on the matter perfectly clear.
Defensa v Tal Cordoba - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It may not be a record they're particularly enamoured with, but Defensa y Justicia currently lead all opposition in Primera División when it comes to matches drawn at both halftime and fulltime this term, with their tally now at 6 in 12 matches. They will put that unwanted consistency on the line versus Talleres Córdoba at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello on Monday, in a game that could see yet another stalemate.
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 clubs have played 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 a tricky one for F. Sava & co.
Velez v Central Cor - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - under
Anyone on the lookout for a proper goal-fest on Tuesday morning, Vélez Sarsfield v Central Cordoba SdE on Tuesday morning may not be the one to watch. Each of Vélez Sarsfield's last 120 Primera División matches has had under 5.5 goals, and it seems unlikely that G. Barros Schelotto's side break that run of form this time around.
Gimnasia v Estudiantes Rio Cuarto - Both Teams To Score - no
If the form book is to be believed, we can back at least one defence to keep a clean sheet at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo on Saturday, as I. Delfino and A. Orfila's teams meet. Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto have had the most fixtures where one team or more has not scored (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this term - 11 out of 12 played. Both bosses will just be desperate that it isn't their team that draws a blank.
Independiente v Defensa - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Estadio Libertadores de América plays host as Independiente and Defensa y Justicia go head-to-head on Saturday night, in what could prove to be a real crowd-pleaser. G. Quinteros Desábato's side have the most score draws of any club in the division - 5 in 12 games. An extension of that record has best odds of 5.00.
Argentinos v A. Tucuman - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona may be anticipating goals galore on Sunday, and with good reason if Atlético Tucumán's past record is anything to go by. Both teams have scored in 8 of their 12 Primera División fixtures this season, a record matched by no other team 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 their streak now extending to 5 straight wins against them. G. Farré will be doing all he can to turn the tide, 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.
