Saturday's Argentine Primera Division predictions including Newell's Old Boys vs. Racing

Barracas Central vs. Argentinos Jrs (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Barracas Central welcome Argentinos Juniors to the Claudio Fabian Tapia on Saturday in round eight of the 2022 Argentina Primera Division.

The home side are looking to bounce back from a defeat while the visitors seek back to back wins having returned to winning ways in their most recent outing.

We say: Barracas Central 1-2 Argentinos Juniors

Both teams have blown hot and cold in recent weeks, and Saturday's contest could easily swing either way. That said, the away side boast a more experienced squad at this level, and we are tipping them to just pip the hosts to all three points.

Gimnasia vs. Colon (Saturday, 7.30pm)

Having seen their unbeaten streak come to an end last time out, Gimnasia play host to Colon at the Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo on Saturday.

On the other hand, the away side make the journey aiming to record a second straight triumph off the back of ending a six-game winless streak.

We say: Gimnasia 1-0 Colon

Gimnasia have started the season in much better form and are the favourites heading into Saturday's game. While we expect Colon to give a good account of themselves, we are backing the home side to emerge victorious at the end of the 90 minutes.

Independiente vs. Rosario (Saturday, 7.30pm)

Independiente welcome Rosario Central to the Estadio Libertadores de America on Saturday looking to avoid losing a fourth consecutive league game.

Meanwhile, Rosario make the journey looking to secure back to back wins for the first time this season after ending a three-game losing streak last time out.

We say: Independiente 2-1 Rosario Central

Both teams are neck and neck in the league table and a close contest is expected here. That said, we are backing the home side to scrape a narrow victory come the sound of the full-time whistle.

Newell's OB vs. Racing (Saturday, 10.00pm)

Two sides who have made decent starts to the 2022 Argentine Primera Division face off on Saturday, as Newell's Old Boys play host to Racing Club.

The visitors head to the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa aiming to record a third win in four outings, while their hosts seek to preserve their seven-game unbeaten run.

We say: Newell's Old Boys 1-1 Racing Club

Racing Club have enjoyed the better of this fixture of late, but Newell's Old Boys are looking almost impossible to defeat right now. We fancy the teams to match each other over the course of the 90 minutes and settle for a point apiece in the end.

Boca Juniors vs. Talleres (Sunday, 12.30am)

Boca Juniors are currently in the midst of a five-match run without a victory, which is something they will be pushing to end on Sunday when they welcome Talleres.

The visitors are at the complete opposite end of the table as they sit bottom of the Argentine Primera division, with the pressure being on to try to pick up some points.

We say: Boca Juniors 3-0 Talleres

For the visitors, they will likely be seeing this as the perfect time to play Boca Juniors away from home due to the poor form that they have been in as of late.

Despite that, when playing in front of their own fans Boca Juniors should have enough quality to get their season back on track in this one.
