All Boys
- CA All Boys and Club Atletico Mitre will play a key early-season game on Saturday when they come together at Estadio Islas Malvinas to try to erase the memory of their mediocre mid-table 2025 campaign in the Primera Nacional.
- Aníbal Biggeri has built a team that is well organised and defensively solid since taking over at All Boys in July 2025.
- The White and Black Stripes finished around 10th in their 2025 zone with 41 points on the back of Biggeri’s pragmatic style that was not always pretty but kept the team in the running.
- Tiago Libares and Lukas Ramil Sauer, the goalkeepers, were key to keeping All Boys in games during that time, and only one goal was conceded in the last five games.
Club Atletico Mitre
- Carlos Mayor, who took charge of Mitre in November 2025, has had more time to work with his squad but has kept the same pragmatic approach to the game.
- He wants his team to be compact and disciplined and use the 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 to play on the counter.
Head-to-Head
- All Boys finished 10th in their zone in the 2025 Primera Nacional with 41 points.
- All Boys and Mitre have each won one and drawn none of their two Primera Nacional matches since 2018.
Key Players
- Veteran defender Jonathan Ferrari keeps everything in place at the back, but Alejo Rodríguez is a more exciting presence and he will start on the flank again, as he did in 2025.
- Santiago Rosales is a canny veteran forward who is capable of threading a ball through the eye of a needle and finishing off a good chance.
- He is a good foil to the pace of Marcos Machado, who also possesses a reliable finishing instinct.
- Matías Kabalin is the engine of this Mitre midfield, covering all the bases from defensive screens to creating chances and linking play.
Betting Insights
- His side won only one of their last five Primera Nacional games in 2025, drawing two and losing two, which explains why they are the clear underdogs here at 4.41 with All Boys available at 1.98 and the draw at 2.72.
- There is a strong possibility that the under 2.5 goals market at 1.28 will be covered, as both sides have a tendency to try to make the other side work to break them down, and neither have the firepower to break through with regularity.
Prediction
- We will take the hosts to come out on top here because of their solidity at the back and home advantage but Mayor has done good work in preseason to make them solid, and we are not ready to desert the visitors.
- We can see the game as a battle of contrast in styles with All Boys pressing and playing wide and Mitre keeping compact and looking to hit on the break.
