Monday's Argentine Primera Division predictions including Platense vs. Banfield

Deportivo Riestra vs. C. Cordoba (Monday, 6.30pm)

Deportivo Riestra will be looking to quickly bounce back from defeat when they face Central Cordoba in the ninth round of the Argentine Primera Division on Monday.

The visitors currently occupy the bottom of the table and will be desperate to secure their first win of the campaign.

We say: Deportivo Riestra 2-0 Central Cordoba

Central Cordoba have endured an abysmal campaign so far, with a porous defence being the main culprit, and this is expected to persist against a Riestra side that have been solid on home turf - which is why we believe that they will prove too strong for the visitors.

Gimnasia vs. Rosario (Monday, 9.00pm)

Two sides who could do well with a win go head to head in round nine of the Argentine Primera Division as Gimnasia play host to Rosario Central on Monday.

Miguel Angel Russo's men journey to the Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo where they have failed to win any of their last four visits since August 2014 and will be looking to end this poor run.

We say: Gimnasia 2-1 Rosario Central

After an impressive start to the season, Gimnasia have run out of steam in recent weeks and will head into Monday's clash in search of a pick-me-up.

Mendez's men have been rock-solid on home turf, and we fancy them to see off a Rosario side who have struggled for results on their travels.

Platense vs. Banfield (Tuesday, 12.00am)

Platense and Banfield bring round nine of the Argentine Primera Division to an end when they lock horns at the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente Lopez on Monday night.

Both sides head into the game fresh off the back of contrasting results, with the hosts cruising to victory over Defensa y Justicia while Gustavo Munua's men suffered a heavy defeat against Boca Juniors.

We say: Platense 2-0 Banfield

Buoyed by their victory over Defensa, Platense will head into Monday's clash with confidence as they look to return to winning ways on home turf. Banfield's form on the road is nothing to write home about and we see them struggling at the Estadio Ciudad de Vicente Lopez once again.
