Argentine Primera Division Tip Previews – July 31, 2024
Quick Tips:
- Union vs Rosario Central: OVER 1.75 @ 1.85
- Boca vs Banfield: Boca -0.5 @ 1.87
Union vs Rosario Central
Union Santa Fe recently faced their first Liga Profesional defeat, losing 2-1 away at Racing Club. Despite this setback, El Tatengue has been performing exceptionally well in the competition, accumulating 14 points and holding a Copa Sudamericana spot in the aggregate table. They’ve been unbeaten in seven league matches prior to this loss, with five victories and two draws.
At home, Union boasts three consecutive successes since their April loss to Belgrano. However, they’ll be without Captain Claudio Corvalan for Wednesday’s match due to suspension, while Nicolas Paz returns from his own ban.
Rosario Central, on the other hand, couldn’t withstand the pressure from league leaders Huracan, losing 1-0 at home last Saturday. This loss ended their five-match unbeaten streak. With only nine points in the Liga Profesional, El Canalla’s poor campaign leaves them far from continental spots in the aggregate table. Their away performance has been particularly concerning, with five losses in their last seven domestic matches on the road.
Coach Miguel Russo has his regular squad available, with Carlos Quintana and Ignacio Malcorra resting.
Prediction: With Rosario Central’s starting attack back and Union eyeing a potential jump to 2nd place, we can expect a promising game. The OVER on this short totals line seems likely, as two goals are definitely possible.
Boca vs Banfield
Boca Juniors continue to face challenges in the league. Their recent 0-0 away draw against Instituto in matchday eight was fortunate, given how they were dominated. Despite losing only one of their last six Liga Profesional matches, their nine points barely secure them a Copa Sudamericana spot in the aggregate table.
On a positive note, Boca remains unbeaten in their last 12 domestic home matches, with eight wins and four draws. For Wednesday’s match, Luis Advincula, Exequiel Zeballos, and new arrival Agustin Martegani are expected to start.
Banfield continues to display inconsistent form. Their recent 1-1 home draw against Talleres, despite taking an early lead, extends their winless streak to three league matches. With only six points in seven Liga Profesional games, El Taladro occupies one of the worst spots in the aggregate table. Their away performance is particularly concerning, with three consecutive defeats.
Prediction: Despite Boca’s recent unreliability, their strong home record and Banfield’s poor form, especially away, suggest a Boca victory. With the return of Advincula and Martegani providing extra attacking power, and Cavani’s recent scoring form at home, Boca should secure the win.
