  • HT draw the most popular result for both teams

  • Back 23/10 Bet Builder double on low-scoring game


It's off to Argentina for us on Friday night and the top flight clash between Argentinos Junios and Estudiantes at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona in Buenos Aires.

There's only two points between them in a congested top half of the table, so this should be a pretty evenly matched contest.

It could go either way, so we'll sit on the fence and avoid the match result in this one, but that's not to say there's not a couple of angles we like.

Leg 1: Back the HT draw

It's the most popular result for both sides this season, with Estudiantes registering 14 half-time draws from their 26 games while Argentinos Juniors can better that with 16.

There have been a few half-time stalemates recently as well with six of the last eight Argentinos Juniors games level at the break, and three of the last five Estudiantes outings seeing the teams go in all square after 45 minutes.

Given those numbers and there not being much between the teams then an odds-against price of 10/111.91 for the half-time draw will do us nicely.

Leg 2: Under 1.5 goals

Argentinos Juniors are one of the masters of the low-scoring game this season in Argentina - with only San Lorenzo having more games with under 1.5 goals in them in the top flight.

They've had under 1.5 goals in 15 of their 26 games so far this campaign, including in four of their last five home contests.

For their part, Estudiantes have seen a few low-scoring games themselves, with five of 12 away games having one goal or less.

That includes three of the last four road games as well, so there's plenty of hope behind backing under 1.5 goals here at 13/82.63.
