Deportivo Madryn
- The home team has won one, tied three and lost one of their last five games.
- Deportivo Madryn have not won any of their last three home matches (D2, L1).
- The home side sit 11th in the Primera Nacional 2026 standings with 25 points from 17 matches, a mid-table position that has been stable since the season began.
- Christian Diaz was appointed as the boss of Deportivo Madryn in December 2025, but he has now been replaced by Luis García who is a proponent of the more flexible system, one which can play a high-tempo, attacking brand of soccer, but one that can also adapt to transition quickly, play wide and press aggressively when necessary.
Los Andes
- The visitors are unbeaten in their last five matches with three wins and two draws.
- Los Andes have a completely different identity to Deportivo, Leonardo Lemos has instilled a disciplined, counter-attacking approach since September 2024.
- They are compact in defensive third, they're structured in their pressing and they don't rely on keeping the ball to create opportunities.
- They sit 5th in the league table with 29 points from 17 games, pushing for the promotion spots and in the midst of their own unbeaten run of five matches (W3, D2).
Match-up context
- There's just four points separating these two in the Primera Nacional 2026 table, but their contrasting styles of play should make this a interesting tactical chess match.
- Los Andes are the more defensively sound team, they like to counter punch and they aren't great goalscorers.
- They have found the back of the net nine times in seven away games this campaign (1.29 per game average).
- Deportivo Madryn edged Los Andes 1-0 at home nine months ago in the Primera Nacional 2025.
