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

Banfield vs. Talleres (Sunday, 7.00pm)

Two teams at opposite ends of the 2024 Argentine Primera Division table will clash when Banfield host Talleres at Estadio Florencio Sola on Sunday evening.

The hosts are languishing in 24th place with just five points to their name, while the visitors occupy third spot in the table with 14 points.

We say: Banfield 1-1 Talleres

Banfield have struggled overall, but they have shown great resilience at home, which could be enough to get something in this game against a Talleres side that have dropped their levels in recent weeks.

Estudiantes vs. Gimnasia (Sunday, 7.00pm)

Both Estudiantes and Gimnasia will be eager to end their respective losing streaks in the when they clash at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi on Sunday evening.

The hosts are without a victory in their last five league matches, while the visitors have suffered defeats in their previous two encounters.

We say: Estudiantes 0-0 Gimnasia

Six of the last seven meetings between Estudiantes and Gimnasia have ended in draws, while the home side have also played back-to-back goalless draws.

Both teams are struggling to get goals at the moment and it is likely going to remain that way when they face off, which is why we are predicting a goalless draw.

Racing vs. Union (Sunday, 9.15pm)

Two top-four sides in the 2024 Argentine Primera Division will clash on Sunday night as Racing Club host Union at the Estadio Presidente Peron.

The hosts currently occupy fourth place with just 13 points, trailing their visitors, who sit two places above them in the table with 14 points, by a single point.

We say: Racing Club 1-1 Union

Racing Club have won three of the last five meetings between the two sides, but they lost the most recent encounter on home soil.

Union have been solid in the second phase of the season and we are backing them to pick up another positive result away from home in this match due to their resilience and the home side's recent inconsistency.

River Plate vs. Sarmiento (Sunday, 10.30pm)

River Plate will be aiming to end a three-match winless run in the Argentine Primera Division when they host Sarmiento at the Estadio Monumental on Sunday night.

Meanwhile, the visitors will be hoping to secure back-to-back away victories against their hosts, having triumphed on their last visit.

We say: River Plate 1-1 Sarmiento

Sarmiento have history and momentum in their favour for this one, despite River Plate's impressive record on home soil in the current campaign.

The visitors have also been decent on the road in the current campaign, which is why we think that this match will likely end with the spoils shared.

Instituto vs. Boca Juniors (Monday, 12.30am)

Instituto can maintain their unbeaten form at home in the second phase of the Argentine Primera Division campaign when they host Boca Juniors on Sunday at Estadio Presidente Peron.

In their previous domestic encounter, El Glorioso were beaten 1-0 by Atletico Tucuman, while Boca played to a 2-2 draw with Defensa y Justicia in their previous league fixture.

We say: Instituto 0-0 Boca Juniors

Boca have not won consecutive domestic encounters all year, and fatigue may play a factor for them, given all the defending they had to do at the Copa Sudamericana the last time out.

That said, they are a well-organised defensive unit, capable of handling a lot of pressure, and we believe they will grind out a result against an Instituto side that have been potent at home.
