Central Norte (home)

• Central Norte sit 34th in Primera Nacional 2026 with 13 points from 14 matches.
• Mario Sciacqua, who took over Central Norte in April 2026, has made them a lot more disciplined and tough to play against.
• They are more about results than style, which is probably why they sit above Chaco For Ever in the standings.
• The hosts do, however, need to get back to winning ways after a run of one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five matches.

Chaco For Ever (away)

• Chaco For Ever sit 36th in Primera Nacional 2026 with 8 points from 14 matches.
• Chaco For Ever appear to have no real identity under manager Pedro Llorens.
• The visitors are constantly changing players and have looked disorganised, reactive and uncertain this season.
