Belgrano (home)
- Club Atletico Belgrano are 3rd in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 with 19 points from 10 matches.
- Belgrano have been the better of the two clubs in the Apertura 2026 with two wins, two draws and only one defeat from their last five matches.

- They typically sit deep in a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 formation, making themselves compact and difficult to break down while looking to spring counterattacks with speed and verticality when they win the ball back.
Racing Club (away)
- Racing Club are 9th in the same competition with 15 points from 10 matches, four points below Belgrano.
- Gustavo Costas has favored a more attack-minded approach since he took over the reins at Racing Club in January 2024 and has made the Academy side much more difficult to beat; they are currently undefeated in their last five.
- In their most recent fixture, Costas’ men drew 0-0 away at Sarmiento, while they beat Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto 2-0 at home in the previous game.
- Racing’s preferred formation is either a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 and they like to press high, stretch the play wide and dominate possession when they have it.
