CA Los Andes
- CA Los Andes are 9th in Primera Nacional 2026 with 29 points from 19 games while Ciudad de Bolivar are 6th with 30 points from the same number of games.
- Leonardo Lemos was appointed as manager of CA Los Andes on 23 September 2024 and he has built a compact, controlled team that is solid but not spectacular.
- Back-to-back defeats have left Los Andes in mixed form with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses in their last 5, so they are not in great shape for Saturday's encounter.
Ciudad de Bolivar
- Ciudad de Bolivar have been excellent away in Primera Nacional 2026, unbeaten in nine with four wins and five draws, a record that strongly favours the away side here.
- Ciudad de Bolivar have been a much more organised unit since the appointment of Diego Funes as manager on 15 January 2025.
- Bolivar have a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses in their last 5 games, but the last one was a confidence-boosting 3-1 home win over Godoy Cruz, which helped paper over the cracks left by a 1-2 defeat against Club Atletico Estudiantes at home the previous weekend.
- Ciudad de Bolivar, meanwhile, have a similar recent run of 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses, so neither side is particularly in form.
Head-to-Head
A repeat of the 1-1 draw between the clubs in the reverse fixture four months ago feels about right for this game.
Key Players
- Mauricio Asenjo (6 goals in 17 Primera Nacional 2026 games) is a smart, hardworking forward and his finishing gives Los Andes a cutting edge when their wing play gets it right.
- Guillermo Sanchez (5 goals in 17 games in Primera Nacional 2026) is the team's top scorer and with 2 of Bolivar's 6 goals in the last 5 games, he's a real threat to any team, particularly if they give him time in the box.
Betting Insights
- Both teams average less than a goal a game, Los Andes score 0.60 and concede 0.30 at home while Bolivar hit 0.78 away and concede just 0.22, so the stats suggest a cagey encounter with few goals.
- The odds reflect a slight preference for the hosts at 1.92 but with the draw available at 2.75 and Bolivar at 4.7, it is clear that the bookies have little to separate these two teams, which is probably right.
- In summary, this is a tight, tight matchup and under 2.5 goals at 1.35 looks the most likely result in the bet markets.
