River Plate will be looking to extend their 10-point lead at the summit of the Argentine Primera Division when they face Barracas Central at Estadio Claudi Chiqui Tapia on Saturday.

At the opposite end of the table, Barracas Central find themselves in 20th place – 26 points behind River Plate – having managed to win just five of their 21 league outings this term.

We say: Barracas Central 1-3 River Plate

High-flying River Plate look destined to notch a seventh successive victory at the expense of Barracas Central, who have struggled for consistency throughout the campaign.

It is a battle between two teams battling towards the top of the Argentina Primera Division as third-placed San Lorenzo host sixth-placed Rosario Central on Saturday.

Just three points separates the teams heading into this contest, which should make for an entertaining affair.

We say: San Lorenzo 1-0 Rosario Central

Given San Lorenzo's struggles in front of goal and Rosario's poor away form, we think this will be a low-scoring affair.

San Lorenzo are yet to lose at home this season, and their defensive record suggests that they will be able to keep their opponents out and edge this contest.

Estudiantes welcome Central Cordoba to La Plata for a Primera Division clash at the Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi on Saturday.

The hosts are still well in the mix for a Copa Libertadores spot but must take advantage of some winnable home games for that to become a reality.

We say: Estudiantes 1-0 Central Cordoba

Estudiantes will expect to keep their lengthy unbeaten home run going here against a bottom-half outfit to maintain a push for Copa Libertadores qualification.

However, Cordoba have often proved a tough nut to crack, especially with three clean sheets in their last three games, so a win is unlikely to come easy.
