Fresh off the back losing their first game in the 2024 Argentine Primera Division campaign, Talleres play host to Defensa y Justicia at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes on Wednesday.
El Halcon, who are one of just four sides yet to taste victory in the league this season, head into the midweek looking to snap an 11-game winless run across all competitions and get their campaign up and running.
We say: Talleres 3-1 Defensa y Justicia
The last six meetings between the Talleres and Defensa have produced a combined 21 goals and we anticipate another end-to-end affair at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes. Ribonetto's men have won their two home games this season and we fancy them to see off the visitors, who have struggled to find their feet so far.

Racing Club will be targeting back-to-back wins in Argentina's Primera Division when they travel to face Sarmiento at Estadio Eva Peron on Wednesday evening.
Meanwhile, the home side will be hoping to get back to winning ways after their two-match winning run came to an end.
We say: Sarmiento 0-2 Racing Club
Racing have shown real character by bouncing back quickly from defeat, something they have done for much of the season.
While the visitors have not been as strong on the road, their overall quality is superior to the home side's, and this advantage is likely to be decisive against a team that has struggled to pick up points at home.

Fresh from seeing their four-game unbeaten streak come to an end, Godoy Cruz welcome River Plate to Estadio Malvinas Argentinas on Wednesday.
The visitors, on the other hand, make the journey to Mendoza seeking to get back to winning ways having had to settle for a share of the spoils last time out.
We say: Godoy Cruz 1-2 River Plate
Both sides boast similar defensive numbers heading into this one, but River Plate have been the better team at the top end of the pitch, and we can see them getting the job done in the end.

High-flying Huracan will be looking to keep their unbeaten run going when they host Estudiantes at Estadio Tomas Adolfo Duco on Wednesday night.
The hosts are one of two clubs yet to lose in the Argentine Primera Division in the second phase, while the visitors are without a win in their last seven matches across all competitions.
We say: Huracan 2-1 Estudiantes
Huracan are arguably the most in-form side in the Argentine top division since the start of the second phase and they have been perfect on home soil.
Meanwhile, Estudiantes have looked short of ideas since May, which is why we think that this is a straightforward win for the hosts.
