Ciudad de Bolivar
- 12th-placed Ciudad de Bolivar are having an excellent season by their standards, having taken 51 points from 34 games in Primera Nacional 2026, but they trail ninth-placed Colon de Santa Fe by three points and three positions in a tightly-packed table.
- El Cele are in the better form, winning four of their last five and their most recent three results look like a statement of intent - 1-0 at Acassuso, 1-0 over San Telmo and 2-1 at CA San Miguel.
- Diego Funes has made a real difference to the structure of his team, who are set up to be compact, play transition-style soccer and counterattack with numbers.
Colon de Santa Fe
- But Colon, who are unbeaten in five, are another level of sophistication.
- Ivan Delfino's team know how to play with the ball, they know how to get men behind the defense and they know how to keep the ball away from dangerous opponents, but they've lacked momentum after consecutive 0-0 and 2-2 draws with Club Atletico Mitre and Almirante Brown respectively.
- The visitors won't be expecting an easy time of it, though, as they have gone 4-7-6 on the road in Primera Nacional 2026 and control has been elusive.
Key Players
But Ignacio Lago is Colon 's livewire with 12 in 28 in Primera Nacional 2026 and the Sabaleros' three of the last five strike in the previous five.
Betting Insights
The odds seem a bit short for both teams - Colon 2.7, Ciudad de Bolivar 2.8 and the draw at 2.75 - but one angle that seems to fit the game and the way both teams are playing is Under 2.5 goals at 1.4 .
Prediction
- Ciudad de Bolivar have been particularly tough to beat at home, going 6-7-4 in Primera Nacional 2026, while Colon remain unbeaten in five and have shown technical control.
- With both sides in form and recent results suggesting tight affairs, Under 2.5 goals at 1.4 looks like a sensible angle to consider for this match.
- Expect a competitive, cagey game where structure and small margins decide the outcome rather than an open, high-scoring contest.
