Colón
- 9th-placed Colon de Santa Fe will host 14th-placed CA Estudiantes Caseros in a mid-table clash at Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao Lopez this Saturday afternoon.
- Colón are on a modest run of 1-1-3 over their last 5 games.
- Colon have taken 49 points from their 31 Primera Nacional 2026 matches.
- Colon's recent form has been mixed, and they've failed to maintain the level of consistency.
- Ivan Delfino has built a solid, balanced structure at the club, which should be able to maintain a steady rebuild, but the Sabalero have won just 1 of their last 5, after grinding out a 0-0 away to All Boys, following a 3-0 home victory over Los Andes.
- Colon typically line-up in a flexible 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation and will try to control the pace of the game, play through the wings and win the second balls.
Estudiantes
- Estudiantes arrive in better form, with a recent run of 3-1-1 over their last 5.
- Alfredo Grelak's Estudiantes arrive in decent form after winning 3 of their last 5 Primera Nacional 2026 fixtures.
- The Pincha tend to play in a narrow 4-4-2 formation, in which they press selectively, counterattack well and can be dangerous from set pieces.
- On the road, this Estudiantes side has been more fragile, winning 5, drawing 4 and losing 6 in Primera Nacional 2026 away games.
Head-to-Head
Colón have failed to win their last home meeting with the Pincha ( 1-1 ).
Key Players
- Ignacio Lago is Colón's sharpest player so far in Primera Nacional 2026, with 12 goals scored in 28 matches, while Alan Bonansea has been in fine form lately with 2 goals in Colon's last 5 fixtures.
- Meanwhile, Facundo Ardiles is the Estudiantes' highest scorer with 6 in 29, but Ezequiel Almirón has been their most clinical attacker of late, with 2 of their 4 goals in their last 5 matches scored by the diminutive midfielder.
Betting Insights
- Colon are the slight favorites here at 1.93, with the visitors valued at 4.03 and the draw priced at 2.95.
- This should be a close Primera Nacional 2026 contest, but Colón's home record is better than Estudiantes' away (W5 D4 L6) and the Sabalero have averaged 1.60 goals per game at home, scoring 24 times in 15 matches.
- The visitors have only conceded 13 in 15 away, so the bet that fits this clash best is under 2.5 goals at 1.31.
Prediction
Colon should squeeze the win.
