Home - Club Atletico Guemes
- Club Atletico Guemes have had a terrible start to the season and currently find themselves sitting 35th in the Primera Nacional 2026 table, having lost both of their opening games.
- At home, Guemes were edged out 1-0 by fellow strugglers Nueva Chicago before losing 2-1 away to San Martin de San Juan last time out.
- Gianfranco Baier is Guemes’ leading scorer with 1 goal from 2 league games so far, but they will need to find some attacking momentum if they are to take the points in this encounter.
Away - Chacarita Juniors
- Chacarita Juniors have enjoyed a much stronger start to the new season, earning a 1-1 draw with San Martin de San Juan and beating Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy 3-1 in their opening 2 league games.
- Mario Sanabria has been a key player for the visitors, providing 2 assists in just 2 league appearances so far this season, whilst top scorer Francisco Cristaldo has found the net once in 1 game.
- The visitors have lost their last 2 competitive away games though, and so they will be wary of Guemes’ attacking threat, who play a high-tempo game with a focus on wide play, pressing and quick transitions.
Head-to-Head
- Guemes are undefeated at home against Chacarita Juniors in this fixture, winning 2-1 in Primera Nacional 2024.
- Both teams have a win each from the last 2 meetings, with 0 draws between them, so we’re expecting a close game this weekend.
Key Players
- Gianfranco Baier is Guemes’ leading scorer with 1 goal from 2 league games so far, but they will need to find some attacking momentum if they are to take the points in this encounter.
- Mario Sanabria has been a key player for the visitors, providing 2 assists in just 2 league appearances so far this season, whilst top scorer Francisco Cristaldo has found the net once in 1 game.
Betting Insights
- Guemes are favoured at 2.43 whilst the away side are listed at 3.8, so the bookmakers fancy the hosts to come out on top this weekend.
- Under 2.5 goals is a huge favourite at 1.3 and this should be a tight contest, so we’ll be siding with the under in this one.
Prediction
- With each side searching for momentum in the opening stages of the Primera Nacional campaign, this is a massive fixture in the tactical chess match of the opening weeks of the season.
- Juan Vita has had success in the past by building teams to play a fast-paced and aggressive game, but it hasn’t yet translated onto the pitch this campaign.
- Vita will need to get the best out of his side and build momentum for them, and the best chance for them to do that is on their home turf.
