Argentine Primera División table: how to read points and goal difference
The gap from top to bottom is 35 points. Independiente Rivadavia lead on 45 with a difference of +15; Aldosivi sit last on 10. Independiente Rivadavia and Argentinos Juniors are level on points, with goal difference deciding first place.
Independiente Rivadavia score most with 37 goals. Estudiantes (LP) defend best, conceding 14, while Newell's Old Boys have shipped 33 — the spread between those two says how uneven the league is at the back.
A club takes 1.35 points per match on average and scores 23.7 goals across the season. The median is 31 points (Sarmiento (J)), with 14 clubs above it. The median describes a league better than the mean does: one runaway side pulls the mean up and barely moves the median.
The drop zone is 13 points from safety: Central Córdoba (SdE) sit 27th on 23, against Aldosivi on 10. Those are the numbers that decide the closing weeks.
Argentine Primera División home and away: split points
The Argentine Primera División table recomputes separately for home fixtures and for away ones. They are the same matches split by venue, so points in the two tables always sum back to the overall one.
Estudiantes (LP) take the most at home, 13 points from 7 matches, while Estudiantes (LP) lead away on 14 — more often different clubs than you would expect.
Central Córdoba (SdE) depend on their ground most: 12 points at home against 2 away, a gap of 10. Defensa y Justicia show the smallest split at -3. Across the league a club takes 0.9 more points at home than away.
Argentine Primera División: goals, averages and difference
Across 105 matches the league has produced 710 goals, 2.11 per game. Home sides win 36% of the time, both teams score in 46%, and 31% finish over 2.5.
Talleres carry the flattest goal difference at 0 — clubs on those numbers usually sit mid-table, equally far from the title and the drop.

Argentine Primera División: division size and what it changes
The size of a division changes how its figures read. With 30 clubs each plays 23 matches, and a run of three or four results moves a position further than it would in a league twice the size: the sample is smaller, so chance weighs more.
For the same reason the points gap between neighbouring places tends to be narrower here and the middle of the table reorders more often. Goal difference is especially useful in a division this size, because it accumulates across every match and depends less on who a club happened to face recently.
Comparing this division with others on absolute numbers — goals scored, points taken — means little where the number of rounds differs. What compares is the relative measures: points per match, scoring rate, the share of draws.
Argentina: the divisions and where Argentine Primera División sits
Argentina: this is the only division we currently carry a table for.
Vélez Sarsfield have drawn most at 11, Sarmiento (J) fewest at 1. Aldosivi defend best on the road, conceding 0 away from home.
Argentine Primera División: match results and head-to-head
The widest result of the season is Estudiantes (LP) against Central Córdoba (SdE), 5-0, a margin of 5. The highest-scoring match is Independiente against Unión at 4-4, 8 goals in all.
38 of 105 matches ended level, 36%. The draw rate is among the steadiest numbers a league produces: it moves less from season to season than goals scored or final positions do.
Any two clubs can be compared in the panel alongside, which reads the same results grid the home and away tables are computed from.
Common questions
How are points awarded in the Argentine Primera División table?
Three points for a win, one for a draw, none for a defeat. A side with more wins can still sit below one that draws often, but only where the number of matches played differs.
What separates clubs level on points?
Goal difference first, then goals scored. Independiente Rivadavia currently lead Argentine Primera División on 45 points with a difference of +15.
How does the home table differ from the overall one?
The home table counts only matches played at home and the away table only those on the road. They are the same fixtures, so the two sets of points add back to the overall table. A mid-table club is often in the top three of one of them.
How many goals does a match produce on average?
2.11 per game across 105 matches. Both teams score in 46% of them and 31% finish over 2.5 goals.
Where are previous seasons?
In the country archive: Argentina, final tables year by year, split by division and, where they existed, by territorial zone.
