Sat 29th Mar, 23:00 BST, Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespu, Capital Federal

We’ve Primera División action to look forward to on Saturday night, as Marcelo Daniel Gallardo and his River Plate side host Ariel Enrique Holan’s Rosario Central at the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespu.

Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It would probably be a little strong to say that we expect Marcelo Daniel Gallardo and Ariel Enrique Holan to got all-out defensive here, but we do not expect a deluge of goals as River Plate and Rosario go head-to-head. The stats belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think that looks like a strong prediction. With best odds of 1.85 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.
