Monday's Argentine Primera Division predictions including Boca Juniors vs. Huracan

Barracas Central vs. Argentinos Jrs (Monday, 6.00pm)

Barracas Central can extend their unbeaten run in the Argentine Primera Division to five matches on Monday as they return to Claudio Fabian Tapia Stadium to battle Argentinos Juniors.

Earlier this week, Baraquenos shut out Belgrano 2-0, moving to within three points of Argentinos in the table, with the latter settling for a 0-0 draw with Instituto.

We say: Barracas Central 2-1 Argentinos Juniors

The physical demands of the domestic campaign and the Copa Libertadores appear to be taking a toll on Argentinos, who have lacked imagination and quality in recent games.

Meanwhile, Barracas have strung together many positive results against some formidable opponents while showing much more poise along the back end.

Colon vs. Belgrano (Monday, 8.30pm)

Colon can end a three-match winless run in the Argentine Primera Division when they welcome Belgrano to Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao on Monday.

It has been a difficult domestic season for Sabalero, who are 24th in the table following a 2-0 defeat versus the league-leaders River Plate, while Belgrano have dropped to ninth, losing 2-0 against Barracas Central on Thursday.

We say: Colon 0-1 Belgrano

Neither side have performed all that well in recent outings, but if there is a team that could break out of their current scoring slump, Belgrano seem to be the most likely, as Colon do not have a striker who can compare to Vegetti.

Talleres vs. Union (Monday, 11.30pm)

Second-placed Talleres hosts Union in gameweek 24 of the Argentine Primera Division at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes on Tuesday morning.

La T returned to winning ways with a 1-0 success over Sarmiento this week, while the away side held Boca Juniors to a goalless encounter.

We say: Talleres 1-0 Union

The home side have been low scoring in Cordoba lately, and they are not expected to give much away against a Union side that struggles for goals on their travels, with a marginal victory expected for the hosts.

Boca Juniors vs. Huracan (Tuesday, 1.30am)

As they continue their quest to move away from mid-table in the Argentine Primera Division, Boca Juniors host fellow Buenos Aires side Huracan on Monday evening.

The teams meet at La Bombonera, with Boca toiling in 11th place after 23 games and their visitors struggling near the foot of the standings.

We say: Boca Juniors 2-0 Huracan

Although they certainly improved in their new coach's first game in charge, Huracan still failed to score last time out and do not pack a punch in the final third. As several Boca stars could be back on the bench following injury, the hosts' greater firepower will therefore swing the result in their favour.
