Central Norte (home)

CA San Telmo (away)
- CA San Telmo are on a five-match winless run in the Primera Nacional (D3, L2).
- Marcelo Vazquez has done a good job at CA San Telmo since taking over on 2nd April 2026, fashioning the squad into an orderly and organised pressing side that can sit in and defend well or press effectively as a unit.
- Franco Tisera is their most reliable striker in Primera Nacional 2026 with 2 goals in 14 league appearances.
- CA San Telmo have scored just four goals in seven Primera Nacional away matches this term and their lack of goals is often the main problem on the road.

Betting Insights
- Central Norte are the more likely of these two sides to pick up the win on Sunday, and Sciacqua's men will certainly like their chances of securing a victory in their home town.
- But with both sides struggling for goals and playing solid defensive soccer, it's difficult to see an open game developing.
- As such, the home win at a shade of odds on looks like the best value in this encounter, but the 'BTTS - No' and 'Under 2.5 goals' options also look very interesting.
Prediction
- Central Norte's aggression should meet a firm and organized San Telmo pressing unit and we believe that a midfield battle could ensue.
- San Telmo will do well to get men in support of the ball and we think they will be shut out.
