Sarmiento vs. Belgrano (Sunday, 7.00pm)
Sarmiento will face Belgrano at Estadio Eva Peron on Sunday evening in the ninth round of the 2024 Argentine Primera Division.
The home side have a poor record against their visitors, having won just one of eight encounters between them, and have never triumphed as hosts of this fixture.
We say: Sarmiento 1-1 Belgrano
Belgrano are unbeaten in their visits to Sarmiento, and they have enjoyed a better campaign than the hosts so far - however, their away form has been under par, which is why we think that the home side can get something from this game.

Union vs. River Plate (Sunday, 7.00pm)
Union will be hoping to maintain their perfect home record when they host defending champions River Plate in the Argentine Primera Division on Sunday.
The hosts have won all four home matches in the second phase so far, but they face a side they have only beaten once in eight attempts on their own ground.
We say: Union 1-0 River Plate
Union have been absolutely superb on home soil in this campaign, with a perfect record so far, while scoring six times and conceding just once.
River Plate on the other hand, have been dreadful on the road, and we think they will not be able to cope with what the hosts will throw at them.

Boca Juniors vs. Barracas Central (Sunday, 9.30pm)
Boca Juniors will be aiming for a sixth consecutive home victory across all competitions when they host Barracas Central at La Bombonera in the Argentine Primera Division on Sunday.
The two sides have met four times in the past, with El Taladro winning every encounter, scoring ten goals and conceding just twice.
We say: Boca Juniors 2-0 Barracas Central
Boca Juniors have been virtually impregnable on home turf this season and will carry the momentum from their last match into this one.
While the hosts boast a formidable attacking force, Barracas have been struggling to score goals and are far from being a strong side this campaign.

Lanus vs. Tigre (Monday, 12.00am)
Tigre will be looking to extend their unbeaten run when they travel to face Lanus in the ninth round of the Argentine Primera Division on Monday.
The hosts, meanwhile, will be hoping to quickly bounce back after their four-match unbeaten streak ended in their last match.
We say: Lanus 1-0 Tigre
Tigre have found a new level of performance in recent weeks, as it seems they have suddenly realised that their season is on the line.
However, Lanus have been impressive at home this season and historically dominate this fixture on their own turf, which is why we are backing them to win narrowly.

Tucuman vs. Independiente Rivadavia (Monday, 12.00am)
Round nine of the 2024 Argentine Primera Division campaign pits Atletico Tucuman against Independiente Rivadavia at Estadio Monumental Jose Fierro on Monday.
Both teams head into this encounter off the back of victories in their last outings and will be looking to pick up where they left off.
We say: Atletico Tucuman 1-1 Independiente Rivadavia
The teams are on a positive run of results leading up to this one, but their attacking performances have left a lot to be desired.
We are backing a share of the spoils here with Atletico Tucuman and Independiente Rivadavia settling for a point apiece in the end.
