Sunday's Argentine Primera Division predictions including River Plate vs. Godoy Cruz

sportsmole.co.uk, 10 July 2022, 05:00
Estudiantes vs. C. Cordoba (Sunday, 5.00pm)

Two teams at opposite ends of the Argentine Primera division will meet on Sunday as seventh-placed Estudiantes welcome Central Cordoba to the Estudiantes de La Plata.

The visitors are currently 22nd in the league table, sitting just above the relegation zone which adds plenty of pressure on all of their performances right now.

We say: Estudiantes 2-1 Central Cordoba

The form has been mixed for both teams heading into this game has been mixed and inconsistent overall, which is something that will likely lead to this one being close.

However, the poor defensive performances of Central Cordoba throughout this season is something that could cause them problems, and ultimately lead to Estudiantes getting the win.

Racing vs. Independiente (Sunday, 7.30pm)

Racing Club will be looking to continue their impressive campaign on Sunday when they welcome Independiente, who have failed to win their two most recent performances.

The two teams are at completely opposite ends of the table with the hosts currently sitting top of the Argentine Primera division, while the visitors are 19th.

We say: Racing Club 2-0 Independiente

Racing Club have got mixed form as of late, but the fact that they have been so dominant overall throughout the season should allow them to get back on track.

The visitors have struggled throughout the campaign, and going away from home against the league leaders is not the easiest way of changing that.

Tucuman vs. Gimnasia (Sunday, 10.00pm)

Two of the Argentine Primera Division's unbeaten sides will square off on Sunday, as Atletico Tucuman host Gimnasia.

The visitors sit at the summit of the division with 14 points from the opening six outings, while their opponents are four points worse off in eighth place at this early stage.

We say: Atletico Tucuman 1-1 Gimnasia

With two unbeaten sides squaring off, Sunday promises to be an intriguing encounter, and, while Gimnasia have fared better so far, they face a tough test away from home and may be pleased with a share of the spoils.

Lanus vs. Huracan (Sunday, 10.00pm)

Two sides who have experienced differing starts to the Argentine Primera Division season will square off on Sunday, as Lanus play host to Huracan.

The home team currently sit 25th with just five points from their opening six games, while their visitors will be pushing to break into the top four, having stretched an unbeaten run with back-to-back victories.

We say: Lanus 0-2 Huracan

Considering the teams' contrasting form recently, we do not see Lanus springing any surprises on Sunday and back the visitors to continue their impressive run with another three-point haul given the strength of their squad.

River Plate vs. Godoy Cruz (Monday, 12.30am)

After a disappointing end to their Copa Libertadores campaign, the focus will shift to the Argentine Primera Division for River Plate, who host Godoy Cruz at El Monumental on Sunday.

La Bamba failed to score in both legs of their round of 16 clash, losing out to Velez Sarsfield 1-0 on aggregate, while Tomba head into this encounter unbeaten in three consecutive games in the second phase of this competition.

We say: River Plate 1-0 Godoy Cruz

The home side may have a difficult time at the start to maintain such a high intensity on little rest, while also managing the psychological letdown from earlier this week, but we expect them to carry the bulk of the play, and eventually, all of that pressure should pay off.
