Primera División stats and tips
Godoy Cruz v Rosario - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Rosario Central's recent outings in Primera División have delivered decent entertainment, and a fair amount of goals, but it has been some time since Ariel Enrique Holan'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 every one of their last 21 outings.
Tig v Velez - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Vélez Sarsfield have been involved in some low-scoring matches in Primera División in recent weeks. There have been under 2.5 goals in all of Sebastián Ariel Méndez Pardiñas's side's last 11 outings and, with S. Domínguez and his Tigre ahead on Thursday night, their strikers would be well advised to put in some additional practice on the training ground.
Defensa v Banfield - Double Chance - home win or draw
It has been a dismal run of results for Banfield and their supporters, with their last Primera División success now coming 8 games ago. Boss Gustavo Adolfo Munúa Vera needs to find a way out, and quickly. Will Defensa y Justicia at Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello on Friday be the one in which they turn it around?
Newells v Independiente Rivadavia - Double Chance - away win or draw
A satisfyingly long time has passed since Independiente Rivadavia’s happy fans watched their team get beaten in Primera División. Alfredo Jesús Berti’s boys are now unbeaten in 5 outings, and he will be hopeful that they can keep that streak running against Newell's Old Boys at Estadio Marcelo Alberto Bielsa on Friday morning. Best value odds of 1.62 are available to back Independiente Rivadavia to avoid defeat yet again.
Barracas v Racing Club - Double Chance - home win or draw
R. Insúa and his Barracas Central troops have developed a handy knack of claiming something from just about every Primera División fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in Primera División now, so Gustavo Adolfo Costas Makeira and his Real Racing Club team will need to be on top of their game if they're to stand any chance at Estadio Claudio Chiqui Tapia on Friday.
Lanus v Deportivo Riestra - Double Chance - home win or draw
Trekking across the width and breadth of the country to support your club can be draining, and Deportivo Riestra’s hardy follows know that better than most at the moment. Their side, led by C. Fabbiani, is now winless in their previous 9 Primera División matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Lanús at Estadio Ciudad de Lanús - Néstor on Friday night. Backing opposition boss Ricardo Alberto Zielinski to extend the run by inspiring his lads to either a win or draw can be bet on at best odds of 1.18.
Independiente v Sarmiento - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Sarmiento have played out some low-scoring outings in Primera División recently. There have been under 2.5 goals in every one of Israel Alejandro Damonte's side's last 10 outings and, with Julio César Vaccari and his Independiente ahead on Friday night, their strikers really should be putting in some additional graft on the training ground.
Belgrano v Huracan - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Belgrano's recent matches in Primera División have delivered decent entertainment, and a fair amount of goals, but it has been some time since Juan Cruz Real's players gave their followers the kind of goal-fest we all really want to see. There have been under 4.5 goals in all of their last 12 games.
San Lorenzo v Tal Cordoba - Double Chance - away win or draw
Following your football club can be a pretty dispiriting experience at times, and San Lorenzo’s long-suffering follows know that feeling especially well at the moment. Their team, led by Miguel Ángel Russo, has now failed to win any of their last 5 Primera División matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Talleres Córdoba at Estadio Pedro Bidegaín on Saturday night. Backing opposition boss Alexander Jesús Medina Reobasco to extend the run by inspiring his side to a positive result can be bet on at top odds of 1.44.
Estudiantes v U Santa Fe - Both Teams To Score - yes
Estudiantes supporters have been spoilt with entertainment at each end when their team plays in Primera División, with both sides having found the net in all of their last 11 matches. Unión Santa Fe on Saturday night could be another ding-dong battle.
Instituto v Gimnasia - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's the task facing Gimnasia La Plata boss Marcelo Fabián Méndez Russo on Saturday. His team faces Instituto having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 3 Primera División games.
Platense v River Plate - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Platense have been involved in some low-scoring outings in Primera División recently. There have been under 2.5 goals in each of S. Gómez's side's last 8 outings and, with Marcelo Daniel Gallardo and his River Plate ahead on Sunday morning, their strikers may well need to put in some additional graft on the training ground.
Boca Juniors v Argentinos - Double Chance - home win or draw
Fernando Rubén Gago and his Boca Juniors team have developed a convenient knack of taking something from almost every Primera División game they play. They're unbeaten in 7 in Primera División now, so P. Guede Barriero and his Argentinos Juniors side will have their work cut out if they're to stand any chance at Estadio Alberto José Armando on Sunday.
Central Cor v Aldosivi - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Estadio Alfredo Terrera may be fully expecting goals galore on Monday, and with good reason if Aldosivi's recent record is to be continued. Both teams have scored in 0 of their 0 Primera División fixtures this season, a record matched by no other team in the competition.
