Deportivo Riestra vs. Rosario (Friday, 7.30pm)
On Friday, Deportivo Riestra can win consecutive home matches for the first time in the 2024 Argentine Primera Division campaign when they host Rosario Central at Estadio Guillermo Laza.
Last weekend, Riestra lost their first match in the second phase, 2-0 versus Estudiantes, while Rosario scored late to claim a 1-1 draw with Tigre.
We say: Deportivo Riestra 1-1 Rosario Central
Neither side have been able to find that little bit extra that can turn one point into three, which is why we project a stalemate between the two on Friday.

Tigre vs. Racing (Friday, 11.00pm)
Tigre can end a lengthy domestic winless run when they host Racing Club on Friday at Estadio Jose Dellagiovanna in the third match for both sides in the second phase of the Argentine Primera Division campaign.
On Monday, the club from Victoria earned their first point in the second phase, playing to a 1-1 draw at Rosario Central, while Racing remained unbeaten in this round thanks to an emphatic 3-0 victory over Argentinos Juniors.
We say: Tigre 0-3 Racing Club
For as well as Tigre played over the weekend, it has to feel rather deflating that it still was not enough for them to claim three points.
Racing are not only creating plenty of scoring opportunities, but they are also getting contributions from various sources, and we believe that balance will propel them to another comfortable victory.

Belgrano vs. C. Cordoba (Saturday, 1.15am)
Two sides sitting near the bottom of the table in the second phase of the Argentine Primera Division campaign, will square off in league play on Friday as Belgrano host Central Cordoba from Estadio Julio Cesar Villagra.
Following a 3-0 defeat at River Plate, El Celeste are 27th in the second-phase standings with just a single point after two matches in this round, one point above El Ferroviario, who are dead last, losing 4-2 to Boca Juniors over the weekend.
We say: Belgrano 2-0 Central Cordoba
The visitors' backline has been far too inconsistent throughout the domestic campaign for us to believe they will manage to shut down a side that have been particularly potent at home in recent outings.

Lanus vs. Estudiantes (Saturday, 1.15am)
Estudiantes can maintain their 100% record in the second phase of the 2024 Argentine Primera Division campaign when they battle Lanus on Friday at Estadio Ciudad de Lanus.
After two league fixtures in this round of the competition, Granate have just a single point, settling for a 1-1 draw with San Lorenzo in their previous encounter, while the club from La Plata defeated Deportivo Riestra 2-0.
We say: Lanus 1-1 Estudiantes
Lanus are a better team than their current record in the second phase may indicate, and we expect an even match, as the last 12 encounters between these two sides at Ciudad de Linus resulted in either a draw or a one-goal victory.
