Lanus – Platense
Lanus is finding a groove amidst a challenging season, with a crucial 2-1 away victory against Talleres bolstering their confidence. This result marked Lanus’ second consecutive league win, elevating their tally to 26 points, keeping their Copa Sudamericana dreams alive. Impressively, the team has only tasted defeat once in their last ten home matches, securing five wins and four draws.
In contrast, Platense fans were left frustrated after a disappointing goal-free draw against new entrants Deportivo Riestra. Despite accruing 29 points, Platense remains two points shy of Copa Sudamericana qualification. However, they maintain an unbeaten streak spanning eight league matches and have been undefeated in their last five away fixtures. Key player Guido Mainero will be absent as he’s suspended for card accumulation.
BET: Lanus -0.25 @ 1.93
Tigre – Defensa y Justicia
Tigre showed resilience against topdogs Velez Sarsfield but suffered a 1-0 setback due to an unfortunate own goal. This loss ended their five-match unbeaten run, which helped them stay marginally above the relegation zone. Home turf brings a fortress-like advantage for Tigre, with five games unbeaten, including two wins.
Defensa y Justicia is determined to secure a continental slot with a crucial 2-1 win over Argentinos Juniors lifting their spirits. Their away form has been shaky but breaking a ten-match winless streak with a recent victory over Belgrano fuels their hopes. However, suspensions and injuries could prove challenging.
BET: Tigre -0.25 @ 1.89
Argentinos Jrs – Banfield
Argentinos Juniors experienced a setback against Defensa y Justicia, impacting their pursuit of continental aspirations. Yet, their strong home form remains a beacon with seven unbeaten games. The returns of Francis Mac Allister and Cristian Ferreira from suspension aim to add strength to their squad.
Banfield continues with inconsistency, with only one win in their last six matches. Their away form provides little hope as they recently managed just a solitary point. Addressing these issues is paramount if they wish to challenge in this contest.
BET: Argentinos Jrs -0.5 @ 1.89
Belgrano – Instituto
Belgrano’s league campaign is marred by inconsistency, demonstrated by their inability to maintain leads resulting in a series of unremarkable results. Home matches haven’t been favorable either, with previous defeats lowering morale. Missing key players due to international duty or injuries compounds their challenges.
Instituto faces its own slump with four games without victory. Their away performances offer little optimism as they gather meager returns on the road. Despite these setbacks, they hope a full squad and derby spirit could catalyze a change in fortunes.
BET: UNDER 2 @ 1.89
