Argentine Primera División – Matchday Tips

Quick Picks

• Vélez vs Lanús — OVER 1.75 @ 1.79
• Defensa y Justicia vs Unión — Defensa y Justicia DNB @ 1.95

Vélez vs Lanús

Form guide: Vélez Sarsfield remain the benchmark for consistency this season. They arrived here unbeaten in the Torneo Apertura, with six wins and four draws. Last weekend they secured a 2–0 away victory against Platense thanks to goals from Florian Monzón and Lucas Robertone. At home Vélez have been strong, having picked up most of their available points at the Fortín.

Lanús update: Lanús have hit form offensively — a 5–0 thrashing of Newell's Old Boys (with Dylan Aquino netting a hat-trick) showed their firepower. That result was their second straight clean-sheet league win, moving them back into contention in the group table. However, their defensive record is a concern: they have conceded regularly this season.

Why the pick: This looks like a meeting between two of the league’s most attack-minded sides: Vélez remain unbeaten and hard to break down, while Lanús are scoring freely but leaking goals. Given Lanús defensive vulnerabilities and both teams’ attacking threat, the short totals market looks vulnerable. Expect chances and goals.

Bet: OVER 1.75 @ 1.79

Defensa y Justicia vs Unión

Form guide: Defensa y Justicia arrive on a high after a standout 5–2 away win at San Lorenzo. That performance underlined their ability to create chances and get on the scoresheet; they are unbeaten in the league so far (three wins, seven draws) and are well placed in the group standings.

Unión update: Unión de Santa Fe continue to punch above their weight. A 1–1 draw at home to Boca Juniors kept them unbeaten in six matches (three wins, three draws). They have been solid and efficient given their resources, but they will be missing midfielder Julián Palacios for this fixture, which reduces their creativity and control in the centre.

Why the pick: Both teams sit level on points, but Defensa y Justicia bring momentum from a convincing attacking display and remain unbeaten. Unión will be shorthanded in midfield and may struggle to impose themselves. The Draw No Bet on Defensa reduces downside while backing the in-form side to avoid defeat.

Bet: Defensa y Justicia DNB @ 1.95
