Defensores de Belgrano
- El Dragón arrive in strong nick, having won their last two games.
- Fabián Nardozza's men beat Deportivo Madryn 1-0 at home, before taking their 1-0 win away to Central Norte.
- Defensores' home record in all competitions stands at 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat from 5 games and they have scored an average of 1.40 goals at home this season (7 goals).
- Nardozza has his side set up in the classic 4-4-2 formation and they have plenty of players who can recover quickly and play the ball quickly on the counterattack.
Ferro Carril Oeste
- Ferro Carril Oeste are unbeaten in 5, winning 2 and drawing 3 across all competitions.
- Juan Sara has Ferro set up to be a tough opponent.
- Verdolaga are well-organised, compact and press well in numbers in the middle third.
- Ferro are also in decent form, but have been cagey recently.
Key Players
- Emanuel Dening is the in-form spark for Ferro with two goals in his last five appearances.
- But with eight Primera Nacional 2026 goals, Lautaro Parisi is still the main man to watch as he is the most prolific of the Verdolaga's attackers with eight goals in 26 appearances this term.
Betting Insights
- Defensores are priced at 2.56, Ferro Carril Oeste at 2.76 and the draw at 2.74.
- The value in this game looks to be in the unders and no goals markets.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.34 and BTTS No at 1.56 seem like solid picks.
Prediction
This one looks like a chess match and not a shootout, so we'll have to side with the draw or a home win at a minimum.
