Head-to-Head
Mitre have won 2 and drawn 2 , and San Telmo have not won either of the last 2 .
San Telmo
- Marcelo Vázquez took over at San Telmo on April 2, 2026, and he has looked to strengthen the defence and make his team very difficult to get at.
- This has largely been true, but they’ve also lacked a cutting edge in the attack and have struggled to play their best football.
- San Telmo are reactive and are either pressing very hard or sitting in a narrow midblock - there is no middle ground.
- When they can transition into the attack, they can be very dangerous, but maintaining possession is very hard for them.
Mitre
- Club Atletico Mitre are 26th in the Primera Nacional 2026 table with 12 points from 11 games, 1 fewer than CA San Telmo in 23rd after a difficult first half of the campaign.
- Mitre’s record of 0.83 goals per game scored and 1.00 per game conceded away from home indicates the away side will be very conservative on Saturday.
- Carlos Mayor was in charge up until April 20th, 2026 and has set up a disciplined, compact, and patient tactical system.
- Mitre are a typical wide team, focusing on their full backs to provide width, and counter-attacking in numbers when they have the ball.
- They do not press high, and neither do they press too hard, but they are a very difficult team to break down.
- They can be vulnerable to the counter-attack, and if they cannot break down San Telmo, their only route to victory will be via a transition or two.
Key Players
- Franco Tisera is San Telmo’s main attacking outlet, with 2 goals in 10 Primera Nacional 2026 league games.
- His pace can be a game-changer if San Telmo are able to transition quickly, but Mitre are unlikely to give them too much time on the ball.
- Gustavo Fernandez has 2 goals in 10 Primera Nacional 2026 games for Mitre, but is the only player that they trust to create and finish opportunities.
- Marcelo Ricci has been the engine of San Telmo’s engine room, transitioning between defensive and pressing phases effectively, and Facundo Juarez has been a driving force in Mitre’s attacks from wide, creating chance after chance from the wing.
