Primera División stats and tips
Aldosivi v Central Cor - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's the task facing Central Cordoba SdE boss O. De Felippe on Saturday. His side face Aldosivi having lost each of their last 5 Primera División matches.
Argentinos v Boca Juniors - Double Chance - home win or draw
N. Vigneri Cetrullo and his Argentinos Juniors side have found a convenient habit of claiming something from just about every Primera División match they play. They're unbeaten in 8 in Primera División now, so Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz and his Boca Juniors charges 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 predict at least one defence to keep a clean sheet at Estadio Monumental Presidente Jo on Saturday, as L. Romagnoli and L. Pusineri's sides clash. San Martín San Juan have had the most fixtures where one team or more has failed to find the back of the net (i.e. BTTS no) in Primera División so far this season - 14 out of 16 played. Both managers will just be desperate that it isn't their side that draws a blank.
Banfield v Defensa - Both Teams To Score - yes
Banfield followers have been spoilt with drama at each end when their side plays in Primera División, with both sides having scored in each of their last 5 matches. Defensa y Justicia on Saturday night could be another ding-dong battle.
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 all of Mauricio Pochettino's side's last 7 outings and, with G. Benítez and his Deportivo Riestra ahead on Saturday night, their attackers really should be putting in some extra work on the training ground.
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 go head to head with Daniel Backstrom's Instituto at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo on Saturday, tipsters should be backing another low-scoring affair.
Huracan v Belgrano - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó plays host as Belgrano and Huracán clash on Saturday night, in what might just be a real crowd-pleaser. Jacek Zielinski's side have the most BTTS + draws of any club in the league - 6 in 16 matches. An extension of that record is available at 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 recently. There have been under 2.5 goals in each of C. Fabbiani's side's last 8 outings and, with Alfredo Jesús Berti and his Independiente Rivadavia ahead on Saturday night, their strikers may well need to put in some additional work in training this week.
Racing Club v Barracas - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo may be fully expecting action at both ends on Saturday, and they're right to, if Barracas Central's past record is anything to go by. We've seen BTTS in 9 of their 17 Primera División matches this season, the largest number in the competition.
River Plate v Platense - Double Chance - home win or draw
Marcelo Daniel Gallardo and his River Plate troops have developed a useful way of getting something from pretty much every Primera División game they play. They're unbeaten in 10 in Primera División now, so S. Gómez and his Platense charges will need to be on top of their game if they're to get the win at Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespu on Saturday.
Rosario v Godoy Cruz - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
E. Solari Poggio won't be relishing facing Rosario Central in Primera División on Saturday. Ariel Enrique Holan's side have been ahead at the break and gone on to claim victory at fulltime more frequently than any other team 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 halftime fulltime market could be a great shout 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 teams have clashed 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
Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's the task facing Talleres Córdoba boss Gustavo Álvarez on Saturday. His side face San Lorenzo having been beaten in each of their last 3 Primera División games.
U Santa Fe v Estudiantes - Double Chance - home win or draw
It has been a dismal run of results for Estudiantes and their faithful followers, with their last Primera División win now coming 9 games ago. Boss Eduardo Rodrigo Domínguez has to find a way out, and preferably right away. Will Unión Santa Fe at Estadio 15 de Abril on Saturday come too soon, or be a turning point?
Velez v Tig - Double Chance - home win or draw
It has been a dismal succession of results for Tigre and their supporters, with their last Primera División win now coming 6 matches ago. Boss Diego Omar Dabove has to find a remedy, and quickly. Will Vélez Sarsfield at Estadio José Amalfitani on Saturday come too soon, or be a turning point?
