Primera División stats and tips
Belgrano v Aldosivi - Double Chance - home win or draw
Trekking across the width and breadth of the country to support your club can be hard going, and Aldosivi’s hardy follows know that feeling especially well at the moment. Their team, led by G. Farré, has not won any of their last 12 Primera División matches, and the clouds hardly look like parting against Belgrano at Estadio Único del Parque La Pedrera on Saturday morning. Backing opposition boss R. Zielinski to add another to that list by inspiring his team to either a win or draw can be bet on at top odds of 1.14.
Deportivo Riestra v Instituto - Double Chance - away win or draw
It has been a miserable run of results for Deportivo Riestra and their supporters, with their last Primera División victory now coming 16 matches ago. Boss J. Benítez simply must find a way out, and sooner rather than later. Will Instituto at Estadio Guillermo Laza on Saturday come too soon, or be a turning point?
Independiente Rivadavia v Argentinos - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
Argentinos Juniors will be aware that 1 goal is unlikely to be enough to claim victory over Independiente Rivadavia on Saturday evening. A. Berti's side have the best record in Primera División when it comes to conceding yet still claiming victory (5 of their 12 matches), so defence first might be the only viable route for N. Diez Parajon and his Argentinos Juniors men at .
Estudiantes v U Santa Fe - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over
Every one of Unión Santa Fe's last 6 Primera División games has had two or more goals, suggesting that we could be in for a treat as they go head to head with Estudiantes on Saturday night.
Boca Juniors v Independiente - Double Chance - home win or draw
Happy days! It has now been a long while since Boca Juniors’s merry supporters watched their side suffer defeat in Primera División. C. Úbeda’s squad is now unbeaten in 8 matches, and he will be expecting that they can extend that run against Independiente at Estadio Alberto José Armando on Saturday night. Best odds of 1.29 can be taken advantage of to back Boca Juniors to get the win or the draw.
Estudiantes Rio Cuarto v Barracas - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
We have seen 3 goals or less in every one of Barracas Central's last 17 Primera División matches. As they clash 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 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 clashed 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 another hard one for D. Ayude & co.
Platense v Gimnasia Mendoza - Double Chance - away win or draw
Following your favourite footy team year after year can be draining, and Platense’s long-suffering follows know that only too well right now. Their team, led by C. González Peret, is now winless in their previous 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 extend the run by guiding his side to a positive result is available at top odds of 1.80.
A. Tucuman v Tig - Double Chance - home win or draw
Following your favourite footy team year after year can be a tough old business, and Tigre’s hardy follows know that only too well right now. Their team, led by D. Dabove, has not won any of their last 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 add another to that list by guiding his team to anything other than a defeat can be bet on at best odds of 1.40.
Huracan v Rosario - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Huracán and Rosario Central have been involved in a number of cagey affairs in recent years. With each of their last 6 Primera División meetings seeing under 2.5 goals, the forwards 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
Real Racing Club's recent games in Primera División have delivered goals and thrills along the way, but it has been a while since G. Costas Makeira's charges provided their supporters with a ding-dong battle with goals galore. There have been no more than 4 goals in all of their last 15 outings.
Defensa v Tal Cordoba - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It may not be an honour they're all that enamoured with, but Defensa y Justicia currently lead all opposition in Primera División when it comes to games where they've been drawing at both HT and FT this season, with their tally now at 6 in 12 games. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency on the line versus Talleres Córdoba at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello on Monday, in a game that could see yet another dead heat.
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 teams have met on 5 occasions since 2022, and Gimnasia La Plata have remained 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 - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - under
Over the course of a season, the expectation would surely be that Vélez Sarsfield's fans would be given an all-out goal fest every now and then. We all need a bit of entertainment in our lives, after all. Disappointingly, however, they've now endured 120 games without enjoying more than 5 goals in a single match, and G. Barros Schelotto and his squad’s recent performances haven't hinted that that run will come to an end as they face Central Cordoba SdE at Estadio José Amalfitani on Tuesday morning. Odds of 1.01 on under 5.5 goals won't have most people rushing to back it, but that’s because the bookies know this one’s safe as houses.
Gimnasia v Estudiantes Rio Cuarto - Both Teams To Score - no
If the form book is to be believed, we can back at least one club to earn a clean sheet at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo on Saturday, as I. Delfino and A. Orfila's sides clash. Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto have had the highest number of matches 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 managers will just be desperate that it isn't their side that fails to register.
Independiente v Defensa - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Estadio Libertadores de América is the venue as Independiente and Defensa y Justicia clash on Saturday night, in what might just be a tight affair. 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
Fans at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona will be fully expecting action at both ends on Sunday, and rightly so if Atlético Tucumán's past record is anything to go by. Both teams have scored in 8 of their 12 Primera División matches this season, the largest number in the competition.
Aldosivi v Racing Club - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Real Racing Club have enjoyed meeting Aldosivi in the Primera División recently, with their streak now extending to 5 straight wins against them. G. Farré will be hoping for a change in fortunes, 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.
