Maipu
- Maipu have won 1 and lost 2 of their 3 home games in Primera Nacional 2026.
- CD Maipu are in a bad run of form that has seen them lose 4 games in a row and go winless in their last 5 (D1, L4).
- CD Maipu are 35th in Primera Nacional 2026 with 4 points from their first 7 games.
- A 0-1 home loss to Godoy Cruz and a 2-1 defeat away to Quilmes last time out do not bode well for a team who are still looking to establish their identity in Primera Nacional 2026.
- Alexis Matteo’s reign as coach of CD Maipu came to an end just a couple of weeks ago and he implemented some interesting tactical ideas which are still evident in the team’s play.
- Their style has been quite flexible, capable of playing in possession and transitioning at pace, with the full backs providing width and their players pressing when the opponent is in possession.
- Juan Gobetto has 3 goals in 7 league games and is Maipu’s main goalscoring threat this season.
Colegiales
- Colegiales have lost all 4 away games in Primera Nacional 2026, averaging 0.50 goals per game away from home (2 goals scored in total).
- Club Atletico Colegiales are a team with a clear identity, and it’s a pretty simple one.
- Coach Leonardo Fernandez has instilled a strong structure on the pitch, with a defence-first mentality and a solid back-five formation that looks to frustrate teams before hitting them directly in counter-attack.
- This setup has worked well so far for Colegiales, who sit in 30th place in Primera Nacional 2026 after collecting 7 points from their opening 7 games.
- They come into this game after a good 1-0 home win against Almagro, but have lost their last 3 away games, so this will be a real test of their newly won promotion.
Head-to-Head
The last two meetings between these teams have each been won by one of the opponents (Colegiales claimed the 2-1 victory the last time they met in Primera Nacional 2025), so this is a very even rivalry and will likely be a close encounter.
Key Players
- Juan Gobetto has 3 goals in 7 league games and is Maipu’s main goalscoring threat this season.
- Lucas Faggioli has scored 2 of his team’s last 4 goals in their previous 5 games.
- Elias Ocampo has 1 goal in 7 league appearances and is Colegiales’ top scorer.
Betting Insights
Maipu’s organisation should be enough to keep Colegiales at bay and not let them on the scoresheet.
