With South America stealing most of Monday’s headlines, Argentina’s elite promises us a string of intriguing affairs.
So, for those of you looking to place a Monday flutter, we have found a pair of helpful tips that are worth keeping an eye out for.
18:00 Barracas Central vs Argentinos Juniors
While Barracas Central might have spent the majority of last season looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Monday’s hosts have shown plenty of improvements since opening up the 2023 campaign. Continuing to gain a reputation for their rugged approach on either side of June’s international break, Monday’s hosts should be smelling the chance to make another statement here.
Putting in an eye-catching performance earlier in the week as they clinched a deserved 2-0 victory away at Belgrano, Los Camioneros have collected seven points from their three top-flight appearances since returning from the fortnight interval.
In fact, with their recent purple patch highlighted by a famous 2-1 win against River Plate when opening July, Rodolfo de Paoli’s side have suffered just a single loss from any of their last 11 appearances across all competitions a run that stems all the way back to April 24th.
Skyrocketing up the Primera Division standings, Barracas Central will know that another victory on Monday evening could see them move within touching distance of the Copa Sudamericana spots.
On the flip side, while Argentinos Juniors might find themselves tipped as a standout contender with the bookmakers here, Monday’s guests have shown some recent issues since returning from June’s international break.
Forced to settle for an uneventful 0-0 stalemate at home against Instituto earlier in the week, Gabriel Milito’s side have mustered just one point from any of their previous three appearances.
Likewise, last seen on their travels slumping to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Banfield on July 2nd, the Reds have also lost three of their previous four showdowns away from the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Facing a stern challenge against a high-flying Barracas here, a home double chance can be found at appealing odds.
Betting Tip: Barracas Central double chance @ 7/10 with
23:30 Boca Juniors vs Huracan
Missing out on what they would have billed as a golden opportunity earlier in the week as they eventually had to settle for a 0-0 stalemate away at Union Santa Fe, there is no doubt that Boca Juniors will be seeking an immediate response here. Still facing an uphill battle in their bid to claim a crucial Copa Sudamericana ticket in 2023, Monday’s hosts could face a must-win showdown on Monday night.
Nevertheless, suffering just a single loss from any of their last six appearances across all competitions a run that stems back to June 1st the Argentinian heavyweights will also be excited by the prospect of making a return to home soil here.
Last seen at La Bombonera picking up a routine 2-0 win against Sarmiento Junin when opening July, Boca have remarkably mustered 22 points from just their previous eight showdowns in front of their own supporters.
In fact, on a run that is highlighted by a 4-0 romp against Monagas last month, it should be noted that Jorge Almiron’s squad have also shipped just a single strike in any of their last six straight appearances in Buenos Aires.
Looking to skyrocket their way into the top-nine, the Juniors will certainly be looking to cash in on a Huracan squad who find themselves in the midst of what has become a mounting crisis.
Putting in another flat performance in midweek as they slumped to a toothless 1-0 loss at home against Atletico Tucuman, Sebastian Battaglia’s side have failed to win any of their last 13 straight matchups across all formats a rut that stems all the way back to April 28th.
Remarkably bagging just one goal from any of their previous seven showdowns against Monday’s hosts, Huracan should face a real challenge at La Bombonera here.
