Thursday's Argentine Primera Division predictions including Instituto vs. Independiente

Argentinos Jrs vs. Tigre (Thursday, 10.45pm)

Argentinos Juniors aim to continue their unblemished home record in the Argentine Primera Division when they host Tigre at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona on Thursday.

Seven points and 17 places separate both clubs heading into the gameweek six encounter, and the winless visitors aim to get maximum points on board in the imminent round of games.

We say: Argentinos Juniors 2-1 Tigre

While Argentinos Juniors have notched victories in every home game this season, they have been far from convincing, underscored by the marginal wins.

That pattern is expected to continue in a potentially full-blooded match-up that has witnessed a sending-off in the past four fixtures, with the hosts eking out a slender win.

Independiente Rivadavia vs. Gimnasia (Thursday, 11.00pm)

After suffering consecutive losses in the Argentine Primera Division, Independiente Rivadavia seek to avoid a third loss in succession in round six's encounter against Gimnasia at Estadio Bautista Gargantini on Thursday.

Both sides are separated by nine places heading into the imminent encounter, with the away side potentially climbing to joint-top if they claim maximum points and other results are in their favour.

We say: Independiente Rivadavia 1-1 Gimnasia

The last three meetings between these clubs in all competitions have been split — one win for both and a draw — and no side is expected to edge ahead on Thursday. A point apiece could be in the offing, as Independiente Rivadavia have secured one point in their last seven league games going back to last season while Gimnasia have an identical road return.

A draw seems like a strong possibility.

Instituto vs. Independiente (Friday, 1.00am)

Seeking a third win on the bounce for the first time since September 2022, Instituto play host to Independiente on Thursday as the Argentine Primera Division returns to action after a five-week break.

The Red Devils, who have also won their last two matches, journey to the Estadio Presidente Peron unbeaten in each of their last five games against the home side and will be looking to extend this dominant run.

We say: Instituto 1-1 Independiente

Having stumbled into the new campaign, Independiente have picked up two wins from their last two outings and will return to action in the league with confidence. However, Instituto have proven tough to crack this season and predict they will hold the Red Devils to a share of the spoils in front of their home supporters.
