Two Argentine Primera División fixtures this weekend offer some tasty parlay value. Here are our top combinations with the best available odds.
Argentina Primera División Parlay Picks - August 21-22
The Argentine Primera División serves up two intriguing fixtures this weekend, and the markets are offering some genuinely interesting prices. With Aldosivi Mar del Plata hosting Union Santa Fe on Friday and Estudiantes de Río Cuarto welcoming San Lorenzo on Saturday, there's enough here to build two solid parlay combinations. Let's break it down.
Fixture Breakdown
Friday, August 21 - Aldosivi Mar del Plata vs Union Santa Fe (18:30 UTC)
Aldosivi enter this one as home underdogs at +245 on DraftKings, which tells you something about the market's respect for Union Santa Fe. Union are priced at +130 on BetMGM, making them the clear favourite on the road. The total is set at 2.5 goals, with the over sitting at a very attractive +150 on BetRivers - that's implying only around 40% probability, which feels light for a game where one side may need to chase the result.
Value flag: Union Santa Fe at +130 (BetMGM) looks generous for a side the market clearly fancies. Road favourites at that price in Argentine football represent solid value, and the +150 on over 2.5 (BetRivers) is the standout number on the board this weekend.
Saturday, August 22 - Estudiantes de Río Cuarto vs San Lorenzo (00:00 UTC)
San Lorenzo are priced at +180 on BetRivers as away favourites, while Estudiantes de Río Cuarto come in at +210 on DraftKings as home underdogs. The draw sits at +185 on FanDuel. Notably, the total is only set at 1.5, with the over priced at -147 on BetRivers - the market strongly expects goals. The under 1.5 at +115 (BetMGM) is a live option if you think this one tightens up, but the short price on the over reflects genuine expectation of at least two goals.
Value flag: San Lorenzo at +180 on BetRivers is eye-catching. Away favourites at nearly 2/1 in a single-elimination market is the kind of number sharp bettors target. The draw at +185 (FanDuel) is nearly equivalent odds to an outright win for either side, reflecting genuine uncertainty here.
Recommended Parlay Combinations
Parlay 1 - The Value Double: Union + Over 2.5 (+344 combined)
Our headline combination pairs Union Santa Fe to win (+130, BetMGM) with over 2.5 goals in the Aldosivi game (+150, BetRivers). Union are the market's pick in this matchup, and at +130 they represent real value for a side rated as road favourites. Stacking that with the over 2.5 - priced generously at +150 - gives you a two-leg parlay with a combined price of around +344. Both selections come from the same fixture, but the logic is clean: a Union win often brings an open game with goals on both sides as the home side chases.
- Union Santa Fe ML (+130) - BetMGM
- Aldosivi vs Union Over 2.5 Goals (+150) - BetRivers
- Combined: ~+344
Parlay 2 - The Cross-Game Double: Union Win + San Lorenzo Win (+494 combined)
This is the boldest combination on the board - two away favourites winning outright across the weekend's slate. Union Santa Fe at +130 (BetMGM) and San Lorenzo at +180 (BetRivers) combine for a juicy ~+494. Both sides are rated by the market as the stronger team, yet the odds reflect the unpredictability of Argentine football. If you believe the market and back both road favourites, this parlay pays nearly 6/1.
- Union Santa Fe ML (+130) - BetMGM
- San Lorenzo ML (+180) - BetRivers
- Combined: ~+494
Parlay 3 - The Goals Parlay: Both Games to Produce (+372 combined)
If you like action and goals, combine the over 2.5 in Aldosivi vs Union (+150, BetRivers) with the over 1.5 in Estudiantes vs San Lorenzo (-147, BetRivers). The San Lorenzo leg is nearly a lock at -147, meaning the market strongly expects at least two goals. Stack that near-certainty with the value price of +150 on the Aldosivi game going over 2.5, and you land a combined price of around +372. That's excellent value for what is essentially a goals-heavy parlay where one leg is already heavily implied.
- Aldosivi vs Union Over 2.5 Goals (+150) - BetRivers
- Estudiantes vs San Lorenzo Over 1.5 Goals (-147) - BetRivers
- Combined: ~+372
