Argentina Picks

Lanus vs Racing Club

Racing Club have been one of the stories of the season so far. They sit a point behind Olimpo, and will feel the title is theres for the taking this year. They have recorded 3 straight away wins, scoring 7 and conceding once in the process. I like them to continue their unbeaten away streak at Lanus this weekend.

Racing Club (+0.25) @ 1.82

Tigre vs Godoy Cruz

Godoy are a solid bet to get something away at a mediocre Tigre side this week. They have scored 8 goals in 3 away games this season, and will see this as an ample opportunity to climb their way up the table.

Godoy Cruz (+0.25) @ 2.00

Colon de Santa Fe vs Boca Juniors

Boca’s abject failure this season has been well documented. Results have been a little unkind to them, but there is no denying that they are far off being title contenders. They are being overrated again this week, and Colon could well put another nail in their coffin.

Colon (0) @ 1.88

big odds move toward boca...colon now +1/4 for same price

love betting against "public" teams who are playing terrible football especially when favored on the road. GL

Yeh, that was the plan, didnt work out too well this week though!

Have been fading them successfully since the start of the season, so had to go wrong one week.

One play tonight...

Banfield vs Argentinos Juniors


An intriguing contest tonight as an undefeated Argentinos Juniors team travel to a Banfield team unbeaten in the last six games. Neither club came into the season with title aspirations, but both find themselves within touching distance of leaders Estudiantes, and will look to push on with a win tonight.




Banfield had a dreadful campaign in the Apertura, with the side winning only 2 of their 10 home games, and despite their good start to this season, they have won only 1 of their 3 home games so far. Juniors away form last year was pretty average, with the side losing 4 of their 10 games. They are of course, still unbeaten on the road this season.



Both sides are coming off low scoring draws last week, and we should expect something similar tonight. Argentinos not to lose is the bet here.


Argentinos Juniors (+0.5) @ 1.88

Nice winner last night. Comfortable away win. Juicy price on the 1X2 as well if anyone took it. One play today:

Racing Club vs Tigre


Things are starting to unravel for early leaders Racing Club, as they are coming off back to back defeats. The team must be starting to question itself, particularly after the capitulation last week where, leading 1-0 with 30 minutes to play, they conceded 4 goals to Lanus (thanks in no small part to goalkeeper howlers). Racing will see today’s game as the perfect opportunity to bounce back. However, Tigre can be a tricky team to beat, and need to start picking up points to get out of relegation trouble. Racing look a tad overrated by my numbers, and so I will cautiously take Tigre with the handicap start.


Tigre (+0.75) @ 1.84

Colon vs Olimpo

Colon have lost their last 3 home games, and despite being worthy favorites in this encounter, i cant keep myself away from having a cheeky bet on Olimpo not to lose.

Olimpo (+0.5) @ 1.92


Huracan vs Racing Club

Racing are in meltdown mode at the moment, so a buoyed Hurcan team fighting for their lives are the sensible option on the level ball.

Huracan (0) @ 2.2


River Plate vs Banfield


Banfield are on a mini bad run, but my numbers show them as a value bet not to lose at River Plate. Expect a low scoring draw.


Banfield (+0.5) @ 2.13
