Sunday's Argentine Primera Division predictions including Independiente vs. Velez Sarsfield

sportsmole.co.uk, 26 May 2024, 05:15
Huracan vs. Instituto (Sunday, 7.30pm)

Two sides currently separated by just a single point in the overall table will square off in the second phase of the Argentine Primera Division campaign as Huracan plat host to Instituto on Sunday at Estadio Tomas Adolfo Duco.

A 1-1 draw versus Banfield last weekend kept Quemeros narrowly above Instituto in the cumulative standings as the latter claimed that same result versus Union.

We say: Huracan 2-1 Instituto

Instituto may have a better record against Huracan, but we believe the home side are due for a break, while they have been much more clinical in the attacking third of late.

Sarmiento vs. Independiente Rivadavia (Sunday, 9.30pm)

Sarmiento can end a six-match winless run in the Argentine Primera Division campaign when they host Independiente Rivadavia on Sunday at Estadio Eva Peron.

The Junin club have yet to claim a victory in the second phase of this competition, playing to a 1-1 draw with Barracas Central last weekend, while Rivadavia have yet to lose a second-round fixture, earning a 0-0 draw with Godoy Cruz the last time out.

We say: Sarmiento 1-1 Independiente Rivadavia

Given their current position in the overall table, both sides will probably show plenty of desperation, but we do not believe that either team will have a decisive edge in this match.

Gimnasia vs. Banfield (Sunday, 9.45pm)

Gimnasia will look to continue their positive start to the second phase of the Argentine Primera Division campaign when they take on Banfield at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo on Sunday night.

The hosts have avoided defeat in their first two matches of the second phase, while the visitors are yet to win a game, losing the first and drawing 1-1 at home to Huracan last week.

We say: Gimnasia 2-1 Banfield

While Gimnasia had a very poor first round in the league competition, they look a completely different side under the guidance of Marcelo Mendez and are now three games unbeaten for the first time this season.

Banfield, meanwhile, are grappling with fitness issues, which have shown in their performances lately, and while they beat this opponent last month, we feel the hosts will get their revenge in this one.

Independiente vs. Velez Sarsfield (Monday, 12.00am)

Gameweek three in the second phase of the Argentine Primera Division campaign will see Independiente taking on Velez Sarsfield at Estadio Libertadores de America on Monday.

The hosts have earned just one point and are down in 24th place after the first two matchdays, while the visitors are currently on three points and in 13th place.

We say: Independiente 0-1 Velez Sarsfield

While Independiente have been the dominant side in this fixture in recent seasons, they head into this match in poor form and without a recognised manager on the sidelines. Velez Sarsfield ground out a very good result against Newell's Old Boys last week, and we feel they will do the same in this one.
