Primera División stats and tips
Aldosivi v Estudiantes Rio Cuarto - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Like most fans around the globe, Aldosivi's dedicated fans have come to expect a lot from their team and, in the opinion of KO's bettors, they may just have them met on Saturday evening. 8 of our tipsters are betting that G. Farré's XI will get the win as I. Delfino's Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto visit Estadio José María Minella. Will that prove to be a smart call? We'll find out at FT.
Independiente v Racing Club - Double Chance - away win or draw
G. Costas Makeira and his Real Racing Club team have developed a handy knack 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 to be at their best if they're to get the win at Estadio Libertadores de América on Saturday.
Rosario v A. Tucuman - Double Chance - home win or draw
Atlético Tucumán have consistently struggled against Rosario Central in the Primera División in recent years. The two sides have clashed on 9 occasions since 2019, and Rosario Central have gone 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
Huracán's recent outings in Primera División have delivered decent entertainment, and a fair amount of goals, but it has been some time since D. Martínez's side treated their fans to the kind of wild ride they'll remember for years to come. There have been no more than 4 goals in all of their last 30 matches.
River Plate v Belgrano - Double Chance - home win or draw
M. Gallardo and his River Plate side have gained a useful habit of claiming something from just about every Primera División match they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in Primera División now, so R. Zielinski and his Belgrano charges will have their work cut out if they're going to get anything at Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespu on Sunday.
Central Cor v Newells - Both Teams To Score - no
If the form book is to be believed, we can back at least one side 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 fixtures where one team or more has not found the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this term - 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 meeting Banfield in the Primera División recently, putting together a run of 5 straight wins against them. P. Troglio will be doing all he can to turn the tide, while N. Diez Parajon will be expecting 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 developed a useful knack of claiming something from almost every Primera División fixture 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.
Deportivo Riestra v Instituto - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring encounters aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Deportivo Riestra have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this campaign. 12 of their side's fixtures in Primera División have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will D. Oldrá and his Instituto team be able to inject spice into this encounter on Saturday? Or will it be same old same old?
Independiente Rivadavia v Argentinos - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
Argentinos Juniors will be aware that 1 goal is unlikely to be enough to come out on top against Independiente Rivadavia on Saturday evening. A. Berti's team have the best record in Primera División when it comes to winning games in which both teams are on the scoresheet (5 of their 12 games), so keeping things tight might be the best course of action 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 matches has had two or more goals, suggesting that fans could get their money's worth as they battle it out 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. There have been a goal in both nets 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 teams have met 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 really difficult one for D. Ayude & co.
Platense v Gimnasia Mendoza - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under
Supporters travelling to Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López this Sunday to watch Platense and Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza might already be concerned about a tedious evening, and who could blame them? C. González Peret's players have been involved in 5 matches with under 0.5 goals this campaign, the most of any team in Primera División. Will anybody break the deadlock? You can bet against it at leading 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 the one for you. 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 form like that, surely only an entirely negative game plan from D. Dabove's men could keep the score down.
Huracan v Rosario - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Rosario Central and Huracán 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 strikers 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 may not be an honour they're particularly enamoured with, but Defensa y Justicia currently lead all other teams in Primera División when it comes to matches drawn at both halftime and fulltime this campaign, 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 clash 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 teams have clashed 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 a really difficult one for F. Sava & co.
Velez v Central Cor - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can expect at least one side to keep 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 matches where one team or more has failed to score (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this term - 10 out of 11 played. Both managers will just be desperate that it isn't their team that draws a blank.
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.
