Estudiantes will be looking to get back to winning ways in the Argentine Primera Division when they take on Racing Club at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi on Saturday.

The hosts played out a stalemate against Rosario Central in midweek, which saw them pass up the opportunity to draw level on points with Lanus in fourth place, while the visitors also had to make do with a share of the spoils in their last match, drawing 1-1 against San Lorenzo.

We say: Estudiantes 2-1 Racing Club

Having scored in three of their last four matches, the absence of Hauche in Racing Club's lineup could be a telling factor here, especially when you consider the number of players that are unavailable for selection due to injuries in his absence .

The short turnaround time is another crucial element to factor in here, and with the hosts having a fitter squad coming into this match, we feel they have the upper hand and should just about edge it by a goal.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

San Lorenzo vs. River Plate (Sunday, 12.30am)

A battle of the heavyweights will take place this weekend in the Argentine Primera Division as River Plate make the trip to Estadio Pedro Bidegain to take on San Lorenzo on Sunday.

The visitors have opened up a commanding lead at the top of the league table, currently 11 points clear of their opponents in second place with four games left to play in the season, meaning that a point or better in this match will guarantee them a first-placed finish come the end of July.

We say: San Lorenzo 0-1 River Plate

While the hosts home form has been tremendous, the visitors have scored in every match this season, home and away, and are the leading goal scorers by a fair distance. History shows that this is generally a very close encounter, and we expect nothing less this time. The first goal could be the decider here, and we fancy it will be the visitors that get it.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
