Union vs Atletico Tucuman
Union Santa Fe showed concerning form as they faced a heavy 3-0 defeat against Independiente. Previously on a two-match winning streak, they sit on 33 points, which keeps them secure in the Copa Sudamericana qualifying zone. Despite a recent 3-0 win against Newell’s Old Boys at home, they are without center back Nicolas Paz, who is suspended.
In contrast, Atletico Tucuman appears to be regaining their composure. A recent 1-0 victory over Sarmiento extended their unbeaten run to three games, placing them on 33 points too. However, Atlético has been less impressive away, gaining only two points from the last 15. Both Nicolas Romero and Renzo Tesuri will miss out due to suspension.
Union’s recent games have generally seen plenty of goals, with 6 of their last 8 matches having at least two. Given their defensive frailties, especially without Paz, betting on goals seems prudent.
BET: OVER 2 @ 1.89
Gimnasia vs Newell’s
Gimnasia LP is having a tough spell, with eight games without a win. Though they managed to hold on for a draw against Central Cordoba, they remain without a significant aim for the season, as their tally stands at 26 points.
Newell’s Old Boys find themselves in an even deeper slump. Their recent 4-2 home defeat by Huracan left them without a win in four matches, keeping them distant from continental qualification. Their away form is dire with seven games without victory. Centre back Gustavo Velazquez is suspended for Saturday.
Given Newell’s defensive woes (13 goals conceded in 6 games), Gimnasia, despite their own struggles, seem likely to take something from this fixture.
BET: Gimnasia -0.25 @ 1.81
Huracan vs Independiente
Huracan continue their push for the title, remaining unbeaten in seven league games. Their recent 4-2 win over Newell’s Old Boys highlights their attacking prowess. With 39 points, they sit just three points behind the leaders Velez Sarsfield.
Independiente maintained a 13-game unbeaten run with their convincing 3-0 win over Union. Their solid defense has been key, especially in away games where they’ve avoided defeat in the last six. They remain in the Copa Sudamericana contention with 30 points.
While Huracan aims high, their squad depth poses questions. Against an in-form Independiente, if things don’t align perfectly, they may falter.
BET: Independiente DNB @ 2.15
