CA San Telmo
- San Telmo have won four, drawn two and lost four of their last ten games in all competitions (W4 D2 L4).
- El Candombero beat Club Atletico Mitre 2-0 away from home before losing 1-0 to Ciudad de Bolivar earlier today, but that defeat came after a 3-2 home success against Almirante Brown.
- Anibal Biggeri took over at San Telmo on the 28th of July 2026, and has stuck with the 4-2-3-1 setup, low-possession, direct attacking game that his predecessor played.
- However, the new boss is even more insistent on pressing high and transitioning quickly than the previous regime.
CA Defensores de Belgrano
- Defensores de Belgrano have won three, drawn three and lost four of their last ten in all competitions (W3 D3 L4).
- El Dragón tend to set up in a 4-4-2 system, which is direct, plays the ball wide and looks to exploit the space in behind the full backs.
Tactical threats
- Both of these sides will look to exploit the game plan of the other, San Telmo will look to press the ball through the middle, causing turnovers and creating quick attacks, whilst Defensores de Belgrano will be hunting second balls and looking to punish them with straight-line attacks.
- They have a solid two-man strikeforce at their disposal.
Odds & market view
- The away team are a slight favorites at 2.82 (San Telmo are 2.52 with draw 2.72).
- But a draw does look live, and the two teams could cancel each other out in a cagey affair.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.33 seems the right bet here.
Verdict
