Betting Tips for October 25, 2024 – Argentine Primera Division
Barracas Central vs. Estudiantes
Barracas Central’s struggles deepen with each match. After a poor performance against San Lorenzo, they lost 1-0 and failed to secure a win for three consecutive league games. They are at the bottom of the Liga Profesional standings with 12 points, though not in immediate danger of relegation. Moreover, Barracas have not won in their last eight home games.
Estudiantes appears to be returning to form, securing a 3-2 win against Instituto. They have won their last three Liga Profesional matches, amassing 26 points and moving into tenth place. Away from home, they ended a losing streak by beating Banfield 2-1. Estudiantes are reinforced with the return of playmaker Tiago Palacios, though Guido Carrillo and Santiago Arzamendia remain sidelined.
Given the current form of both teams, with Estudiantes scoring consistently and Barracas conceding goals in 10 of their last 12 games, the bet for this match is on OVER 2 @ 1.87.
Defensa y Justicia vs. River Plate
On their last outing, Defensa y Justicia fought hard but ultimately lost 4-3 to Racing Club. This was their third defeat in five games. They have gathered 15 points across 18 Liga Profesional matches, standing just three points above the last-placed Barracas Central. Despite their recent struggles, Defensa is unbeaten at home in the last four matches, winning three.
Although River Plate remains close to the top of the standings, they couldn’t advance in the league title race as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Velez Sarsfield. River has won only one of their last eight domestic away matches, including a recent 3-0 defeat by Atletico Mineiro. With their focus divided due to the upcoming Copa Libertadores semi-final, an alternative lineup is expected.
Focusing on Defensa y Justicia’s solid home streak and River’s recent setbacks, especially their away difficulties, the bet is on Defensa y Justicia +0.25 @ 2.03.
