San Telmo
- 10th placed Ciudad de Bolivar with 19 points from 12 matches are in better form than 24th placed San Telmo with 14 from the same number of matches ahead of Saturday’s away matchup between the sides.
- On the other hand, Marcelo Vazquez’s San Telmo are a more direct and transitional team that have played with more flair and variety since he took the reins on April 2nd, 2026.
- Their recent results have been mixed with one win and four draws from their last five but there’s still a lack of consistency in their attacking play, which can be attributed to their unstable tactical setup.
- San Telmo, who have drawn their last three games in a row, have managed to secure a pair of 0-0 draws in their most recent two against Club Atletico Mitre and Almirante Brown.
Ciudad de Bolivar
- Ciudad de Bolivar are unbeaten away in Primera Nacional 2026, winning 3 and drawing 4 of their 7 away games.
- Ciudad de Bolivar have conceded only 2 goals in their 7 away Primera Nacional 2026 fixtures, an average of 0.29 per match.
- But it’s the visitors who are in much better form with four wins in their last five league matches and only one defeat so far.
- Bolivar are a tough, defensively disciplined team that plays with a compact, rigid block and are extremely effective on set plays or when they catch their opponents out on the counter-attack.
Key Players
- Guillermo Sanchez has scored three goals in Primera Nacional 2026 for Bolivar, the most of any player in the club’s squad.
- He’s a clever player who can score, but he’s also a good passer and mover.
- Maximiliano Gutierrez has netted twice in his last 5 league appearances for Ciudad de Bolivar and can add to their total at San Telmo with a timely goal.
Prediction
- Bolivar will win this contest if they remain disciplined, but San Telmo are in need of a result to put their recent technical overhaul on a firmer footing.
- The matchup of the visitors’ defensive resolve and the hosts’ attacking mentality should be a chess match and the likelihood is that neither team will get many clear-cut chances to score.
- We’re tipping Ciudad de Bolivar to edge out a low-scoring contest with a win and under 2.5 goals.
- We’re taking Guillermo Sanchez to net at any point during the game against San Telmo.
