Club Atletico Colegiales
- Club Atletico Colegiales are unbeaten in 2 home matches in the Primera Nacional 2026 (W1, D1).
- Colegiales are 34th with 4pts.
- Leonardo Fernandez has imbued his recently promoted side with a solid and disciplined foundation since taking over in July 2023.
- They set up in a compact 5-3-2 formation and play with a defense-first mentality that relies on their wing-backs and pacey forwards to make the most of any transitional opportunities.
- Colegiales have only scored once in their two home games in the competition this term so this could be a low-scoring affair, as is typical for two teams with little attacking output but a good defensive structure.
Almagro
- Almagro are yet to win on the road in the Primera Nacional 2026 (D2, L1 in 3).
- Almagro are 19th in the standings with 8pts from 6 games.
- Gomez’s Almagro line-up is a 4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2 hybrid formation and will try to dominate the ball, press high and get their mobile strikers involved as quickly as possible.
- Almagro should arrive in good form for this contest having won their last two games, including a 2-0 home victory over Deportivo Madryn last time out.
- they have failed to score in two of their three Primera Nacional 2026 away games so far.
Key Players
Mateo Benegas has two goals in six Primera Nacional 2026 appearances and has scored half of Almagro’s goals across their last four matches, so looks like the team’s biggest threat.
Betting Insights
- Almagro will frustrate the hosts and the value looks there for a Colegiales win at 2.18.
- Take the under in the goal markets and expect both teams to score - No to be the result.
- Colegiales have scored just one goal in their first two home matches in Primera Nacional 2026, so the likelihood of a 1-0 home win looks the best correct score play to us.
Prediction
- The clash of styles makes this a difficult one to predict, but it is more likely that Almagro’s intensity and ball control will come up against Colegiales’ low-block rather than the other way around.
- Expect a tight, low-scoring affair with Colegiales favoured at the odds given and a 1-0 scoreline a plausible outcome.
