Saturday's Argentine Primera Division predictions including Racing vs. Deportivo Riestra

Racing vs. Deportivo Riestra (Saturday, 10.00pm)

Racing Club are undoubted favourites to dispatch Deportivo Riestra in Saturday's Argentine Primera Division clash at Estadio Presidente Peron.

The round four meeting sees the in-form early-season high-flyers host a side beaten in two of three league outings at the start of the season.

We say: Racing Club 2-0 Deportivo Riestra

Barring any unexpected turn, Racing are favourites to secure another positive result to continue their unbeaten start to the new campaign and extend their winning run to three in the league and five in all competitions against an opponent without a win since May 12.

Velez Sarsfield vs. Tucuman (Sunday, 12.15am)

Velez Sarsfield and Atletico Tucuman have identical Argentine Primera Division records heading into Saturday's gameweek four clash at Estadio Jose Amalfitani.

Both sides have claimed four points from an available nine, and a victory for either sees the winner pull three points clear of the other.

We say: Velez Sarsfield 1-0 Atletico Tucuman

While a goalless encounter between these clubs will not surprise, with Velez securing two of their recent 1-0 victories courtesy of strikes after the 80th minute, El Fortin are backed to nick a hard-fought slender win over their low-scoring visitors.

Belgrano vs. Argentinos Jrs (Sunday, 12.15am)

Belgrano welcome Argentinos Juniors to the Julio Cesar Villagra Stadium on Saturday night keen to find some momentum at the start of the Argentine Primera Division season.

The hosts seek consecutive wins in the gameweek four encounter to build on the previous round's triumph, while Argentinos could go top if they win and results elsewhere go their way.

We say: Belgrano 1-1 Argentinos Juniors

Saturday's game could be close to call with Belgrano no longer distracted by continental games for a while, even if the same applies to Argentinos, who have endured a disappointing road form.

The outcome could be contingent on which team adapts quicker following midweek Sudamericana exertions, and that uncertainty means we err on the side of caution by going for a tie in the round four fixture.
