Saturday's Argentine Primera Division predictions including Gimnasia vs. Defensa

Tigre vs. Talleres (Saturday, 7.30pm)

Talleres Cordoba will be keen to arrest a poor run of form when they take on Tigre this weekend.

The visitors are hovering towards the bottom of the table, with a woeful points return from their opening five fixtures.

We say: Tigre 1-0 Talleres

As a club in the knockouts of the Libertadores, Talleres will feel as of their performances so far this season are well under par.

Looking to capitalise on their opponents misfortune, Tigre will welcome the strugglers and should take victory this weekend.

Godoy Cruz vs. Colon (Saturday, 10.00pm)

Colon have an opportunity to surpass Godoy Cruz in the Argentine Primera Division table with a victory on Saturday at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in Mendoza.

Expresso are two points above Colon in the standings, winning both of their home fixtures in the second phase, while the club from Santa Fe are winless in 11 straight road matches in all competitions.

We say: Godoy Cruz 1-0 Colon

Godoy seem to look calmer and more compact at home, and we expect them to frustrate a Colon side who struggle with consistency in the attacking third, scoring a goal or fewer in their last eight matches played in all competitions.

Velez Sarsfield vs. Tucuman (Saturday, 10.00pm)

Sitting comfortably in mid-table, Atletico Tucuman will be keen to continue their upwards trajectory this weekend when they take on a stuttering Velez Sarsfield.

The hosts are struggling towards the bottom end of the table, but Saturday's clash a chance to right the wrongs of previous weeks.

We say: Velez Sarsfield 2-0 Atletico Tucuman

Tucuman boast the better form heading into this clash, but Velez Sarsfield do possess the quality to resurrect their stuttering start.

Expect the hosts to click into gear and take three points on Saturday evening.

Gimnasia vs. Defensa (Sunday, 12.30am)

Two sides in entirely different form, high-flyers Gimnasia will welcome strugglers Defensa y Justicia on Sunday morning.

Only one side in the division have taken more points than Gimnasia so far this season, whereas Defensa y Justicia are struggling for form at the bottom of the division.

We say: Gimnasia 2-0 Defensa y Justicia

Gimnasia are making a statement with their football of late and their weekend clash against Defensa y Justicia looks like being no different.

Expect a comfortable victory for Gimnasia on Sunday morning, as they look to maintain their place at the right end of the table.
