Central Norte Salta (home)
- Central Norte Salta have lost their last 3 and won just 1 of their previous 5 in all competitions.
- Central Norte’s home form has been patchy with one win and one defeat in their last two on their own turf.
- Adrián Bastía has a reputation as a high-pressing coach and has brought that style to Central Norte since his appointment in December 2025.
- His side presses high up the pitch with a fluid front-line and look to get the ball wide and create mismatches.
Colon de Santa Fe (away)
- Colon de Santa Fe are the form team, having won their last 2 matches, including a 2-1 win over Deportivo Madryn in the Primera Nacional 2026.
- Ezequiel Medrán, who has been in charge of Colon de Santa Fe since August 2025, is more of a pragmatist with his team set up to be compact and solid in defense and capable of playing at tempo on the break.
- Ignacio Lago has been the creative spark in the number 10 role, as he demonstrated in the 2-1 opening day win over Deportivo Madryn with one assist.
- The visitors should have too much in midfield for Central Norte and their defensive strength could be decisive in a close game, but their away form is a bit of a concern with two defeats in their last two away matches.
