### Betting Tips: September 27, 2024 – Argentine Primera Division
**Deportivo Riestra – Newell’s**
Deportivo Riestra continue to make progress toward securing their spot in the top flight. Last Friday, they managed to secure a valuable point with a scoreless draw away to Gimnasia LP. The team is performing excellently in the Liga Profesional, remaining unbeaten in their last four matches (two wins and two draws), accumulating 23 points in 15 rounds. This performance places them ten points above the relegation zone in the point-average table, currently occupied by Independiente Rivadavia. Deportivo Riestra’s impressive streak includes a six-game winning run at home.
Newell’s Old Boys seem to be on an upward trajectory following the departure of Coach Sebastian Mendez. Last Saturday, they celebrated a hard-fought 1-0 home victory over Tigre, with Saul Salcedo scoring the decisive goal in the 71st minute. This win brought an end to their eight-game winless streak (four draws and four losses), giving them 16 points in the Liga Profesional, currently five points behind the last Copa Sudamericana berth in the aggregate table. However, their performance on the road has been lackluster, with just two points from the last 12 available.
Given Deportivo Riestra’s excellent home form and Newell’s inconsistency, betting on the hosts seems a prudent choice.

**Independiente Rivadavia – Instituto**
Independiente Rivadavia faces a crucial battle to stay in the top flight. Last Monday, they were thoroughly outplayed in a 2-0 loss away to Banfield. This defeat was their fifth in the last seven league matches, leaving them with just one win and one draw in that period, and sitting at the bottom in terms of average points. They need at least 17 more points to avoid relegation. On a positive note, they have lost only one of their last five home matches, winning three and drawing one.
Instituto, meanwhile, succumbed to one of their worst performances this year, losing 1-0 at home to bottom-placed Barracas Central last Saturday. This marked their second consecutive defeat, pushing them out of the Copa Sudamericana spots in the aggregate table, though they have accumulated 24 points in the Liga Profesional. Additionally, they’ve lost three of their last five away matches, with only one win and one draw. Key players Nicolas Dubersarsky and Fernando Alarcon will be absent due to yellow card suspensions.
Considering Independiente Rivadavia’s home form and Instituto’s recent poor performances and missing key defenders, betting on the hosts is advisable.
