Primera División stats and tips
Aldosivi v Central Cor - Win / Draw / Win - home win
It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's the task facing Central Cordoba SdE boss O. De Felippe on Saturday. His players face Aldosivi having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 5 Primera División outings.
Argentinos v Boca Juniors - Double Chance - home win or draw
N. Vigneri Cetrullo and his Argentinos Juniors team have gained a handy way of getting something from almost every Primera División fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 8 in Primera División now, so Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz and his Boca Juniors team will need to be on top of their game if they're to get the win at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday.
A. Tucuman v SM San Juan - 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 Monumental Presidente Jo on Saturday, as L. Romagnoli and L. Pusineri's teams meet. San Martín San Juan 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 - 14 out of 16 played. Both managers will just be praying it isn't their side that draws a blank.
Banfield v Defensa - Both Teams To Score - yes
Banfield fans have come to expect action at each end when their side plays in Primera División, with both teams having scored at least one goal in all of their last 5 games. Defensa y Justicia on Saturday night could be another thriller.
Deportivo Riestra v Lanus - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Lanús have played out some low-scoring games in Primera División of late. There have been under 2.5 goals in every one of Mauricio Pochettino's side's last 7 outings and, with G. Benítez and his Deportivo Riestra ahead on Saturday night, their strikers would be well advised to put in some extra graft in the build-up.
Gimnasia v Instituto - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
Supporters have seen 3 goals or less in every one of Gimnasia La Plata's last 24 Primera División matches. As they face Daniel Backstrom's Instituto at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo on Saturday, the smart money should be backing that run to continue.
Huracan v Belgrano - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó is the venue as Belgrano and Huracán meet on Saturday night, in what might just be a real crowd-pleaser. Jacek Zielinski's side have the most score draws of any side in the league - 6 in 16 matches. An extension of that record has best odds of 5.00.
Independiente Rivadavia v Newells - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Newell's Old Boys have been involved in some low-scoring games in Primera División in recent weeks. There have been under 2.5 goals in all of C. Fabbiani's side's last 8 outings and, with Alfredo Jesús Berti and his Independiente Rivadavia ahead on Saturday night, their forwards would be well advised to put in some additional work on the training ground.
Racing Club v Barracas - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo will be fully expecting plenty goalmouth action on Saturday, and rightly so if Barracas Central's recent record is anything to go by. Both teams have found the net in 9 of their 17 Primera División fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.
River Plate v Platense - Double Chance - home win or draw
Weeks have passed since River Plate’s happy supporters watched their team get beaten in Primera División. Marcelo Daniel Gallardo’s boys are now unbeaten in 10 outings, and he'll be hopeful that they can keep going against Platense at Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespu on Saturday night. Best odds of 1.13 can be taken advantage of to back River Plate the double chance market.
Rosario v Godoy Cruz - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
E. Solari Poggio won't be relishing the prospect of playing Rosario Central in Primera División on Saturday. Ariel Enrique Holan's side have led at HT and gone on to secure the win at FT in more games than any other club in the Primera División this term - 7 times in total. That record suggests there's every chance of it being a difficult night for Godoy Cruz, and that backing Rosario Central in the HT FT market could be a smart move at odds of 2.75.
Sarmiento v Independiente - Double Chance - away win or draw
Sarmiento have found something of a bogey team in Independiente in the Primera División in recent years. The two sides have met on 6 occasions since 2021, and Independiente have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Estadio Eva Perón de Junín could be a really difficult one for Javier Sanguinetti & co.
Tal Cordoba v San Lorenzo - Win / Draw / Win - away win
It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's exactly what must be done by Talleres Córdoba boss Gustavo Álvarez on Saturday. His players face San Lorenzo having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 3 Primera División games.
U Santa Fe v Estudiantes - Double Chance - home win or draw
It has been a dreadful run of results for Estudiantes and their supporters, with their last Primera División win now coming 9 games ago. Boss Eduardo Rodrigo Domínguez has to find a remedy, and quickly. Will Unión Santa Fe at Estadio 15 de Abril on Saturday be the one in which they turn it around?
Velez v Tig - Double Chance - home win or draw
It has been a miserable succession of results for Tigre and their fans, with their last Primera División victory now coming 6 games ago. Boss Diego Omar Dabove has to find a way out, and quickly. Will Vélez Sarsfield at Estadio José Amalfitani on Saturday be the one in which they turn it around?
