Primera División stats and tips
Independiente Rivadavia v Estudiantes Rio Cuarto - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at will be anticipating plenty goalmouth action on Saturday, and with good reason if Independiente Rivadavia's recent record is to be continued. We've seen BTTS in 14 of their 20 Primera División matches this season, more than any side in the competition.
A. Tucuman v Sarmiento - Double Chance - home win or draw
We all dream of our club suddenly becoming invincible, and for some fans that dream comes true. It has been weeks since Atlético Tucumán’s merry followers watched their team lose in Primera División. J. Falcioni’s boys are now unbeaten in 5 games, and he will be full of belief that they can extend that run against Sarmiento at Estadio Monumental Presidente Jo on Saturday evening. Best odds of 1.14 can be taken advantage of to back Atlético Tucumán to get the win or the draw.
Deportivo Riestra v Estudiantes - 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 term. 17 of their side's matches in Primera División have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will A. Medina Reobasco and his Estudiantes team be capable of adding some spice into this encounter on Saturday? Or will it be more of the same?
Tig v River Plate - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's exactly what must be done by River Plate boss E. Coudet on Saturday. His side face Tigre having lost each of their last 4 Primera División games.
Boca Juniors v Velez - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Estadio Alberto José Armando is the backdrop as Boca Juniors and Vélez Sarsfield meet on Saturday night, in what might just be a tight affair. R.

Independiente v Platense - Double Chance - home win or draw
Instituto v Gimnasia Mendoza - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
We have seen 3 goals or less in each of Instituto's last 16 Primera División outings. As they go head to head with D. Franco Gatti's Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón on Sunday, the smart money may well be backing more of the same.
San Lorenzo v Huracan - Double Chance - away win or draw
San Lorenzo have consistently struggled against Huracán in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs have met on 7 occasions since 2023, and Huracán have been unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Estadio Pedro Bidegaín could be a really difficult one for N. Gorosito & co.
Defensa v Newells - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It might not be a record they're all that proud of, but Defensa y Justicia currently lead all opposition in Primera División when it comes to games drawn at both halftime and fulltime this season, with their tally now at 7 in 19 outings. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency to the test against Newell's Old Boys at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello on Sunday, in a fixture that could see yet another tie.
Gimnasia v Barracas - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
won't be looking forward to the prospect of playing Gimnasia La Plata in Primera División on Sunday. G. Pereyra's side have been winning at HT and gone on to claim victory at fulltime more frequently than any other team in the Primera División this term - 9 times in total. That stat suggests it may be a difficult night for Barracas Central, and that backing Gimnasia La Plata in the HT FT market could be a smart move at odds of 2.88.
Argentinos v Racing Club - Double Chance - home win or draw
Luckily for them, it has been quite some time since Argentinos Juniors’s merry supporters watched their team suffer defeat in Primera División. N. Diez Parajon’s boys are now unbeaten in 6 games, and he will be expecting that they can keep going against Real Racing Club at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona on Monday morning. Top odds of 1.22 are available to back Argentinos Juniors the double chance market.

Banfield simply have not been able to find a way past Belgrano in the Primera División in recent years. The two sides have met on 6 occasions since 2018, and Belgrano have gone unbeaten in them all. Monday's game at Estadio Florencio Solá could be another hard one for P. Troglio & co.
U Santa Fe v Central Cor - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - over
Central Cordoba SdE have been Primera División's entertainers this campaign, at least in terms of producing high scoring matches. No other side comes close to their record of having played in 1 six-goal thrillers this campaign. Can they make it 2 when they face Unión Santa Fe on Tuesday morning? With odds of 17.00 available, it might be worth a go.
Tal Cordoba v Lanus - Double Chance - away win or draw
Talleres Córdoba have consistently struggled against Lanús in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs have played on 12 occasions since 2018, and Lanús have been unbeaten in them all. Wednesday's game at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón could be another hard one for J. Sampaoli Moya & co.
Aldosivi v Tig - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Aldosivi will be looking to avoid adding to the 8 matches they have already lost at both HT and FT this term when they play Tigre on Saturday. I. Damonte's players already top the rest of Primera División in that category, and won't want to make the situation any worse. Opposing boss D. Dabove , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.
Estudiantes v Gimnasia - Double Chance - home win or draw
Gimnasia La Plata have found something of a bogey team in Estudiantes in the Primera División in recent years. The two clubs have played on 7 occasions since 2023, and Estudiantes have been unbeaten in them all.
