May 12, 2026 — Argentine Primera División: Quick Tips & Previews
- Belgrano vs. Unión — BET: OVER 2 @ 1.99
- Argentinos Jrs vs. Huracán — BET: Argentinos Jrs -0.5 @ 1.89
Belgrano vs. Unión
Short pick: OVER 2 @ 1.99
Belgrano arrive with confidence after a big 1-0 away win over local rivals Talleres in the round-of-16. That victory — a 48th-minute goal from Francisco González Metilli — keeps El Pirata in a rich vein of form: just one loss in their last five league matches and solid home returns (14 of 24 points obtained at home so far). One downside is the suspension of Lucas Passerini after his red card, which is a setback up front.
Unión Santa Fe shocked expectations too, beating Independiente Rivadavia 2-1 to reach the quarterfinals and end a small run without wins. Leonardo Madelón’s side have steadied and will travel with all regular starters available, buoyed by that morale-boosting result.
Both teams came through upset wins last weekend, and most of the round-of-16 ties were open contests where teams had to take risks. With Unión showing attacking intent and Belgrano able to exploit spaces at home (despite the suspension), the match looks likely to produce goals. For that reason the sensible play here is the over.
Argentinos Jrs vs. Huracán
Short pick: Argentinos Jrs -0.5 @ 1.89
Argentinos Juniors have been in strong form and confirmed it with a 2-0 win over Lanús thanks to goals from Francisco Álvarez and Alan Lescano. The team has recorded three wins in four matches in this competition and remain very hard to beat at home — a long unbeaten run at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona underlines how well they perform in front of their supporters. There are no new injury concerns reported ahead of this fixture.
Huracán pulled off a dramatic 3-2 extra-time win over Boca Juniors, but that result came at a cost: they finished the match reduced to nine men and will be without defender Fabio Pereyra through suspension. The extra 30 minutes and the disciplinary toll increase the chance of fatigue affecting the visitors here.
Given Argentinos’ excellent home form and Huracán’s physical and suspension issues coming out of an exhausting tie, the recommendation is to back the home side to cover the -0.5 handicap and advance to the next round.
