CA Patronato
- CA Patronato are 31st in Primera Nacional 2026, 7 points behind opponents Nueva Chicago (5th), after both played 10 games.
- Marcelo Candia took over at Patronato earlier this year and has since switched from a five-defender system to a more classic 4-4-2 formation, which has helped to steady the ship.
- However, Los Patrones are still struggling to score goals, with the same players who failed to trouble the scorers during the previous regime still struggling to get chances in the attacking third.
Nueva Chicago
- Nueva Chicago have been far more consistent since Luis Garcia took charge of them at the start of December 2025.
- Garcia has been firming up their defence and getting the best out of his squad in a compact and disciplined 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 system that sits deep and counters quickly when they win possession.
- Sebastian Cocimano is the main goal threat, with four Primera Nacional 2026 strikes, but the rest of the side have found goals hard to come by.
- Chicago have been particularly impressive on the road this season, winning three, drawing one and losing one of their five Primera Nacional 2026 away matches, scoring five goals in total.
