Deportivo Madryn
- Deportivo Madryn can take their position in the top seven in Primera Nacional 2026 into the new season in style with victory over Central Norte at Estadio Deportivo on Saturday.
- Deportivo Madryn, who have won three and lost two of their last five, are in better form than the visitors, who have drawn two and lost none of their last two away games.
- The odds-on price on Madryn is no surprise given the teams' league positions and contrasting recent results with Deportivo Madryn seventh on 49 points after 30 matches and Central Norte 30th with 31 from the same amount of games.
- Luis Garcia's men have been a very hard nut to crack at home in Primera Nacional 2026, winning nine, drawing four and losing only two of their 15 games in which they have conceded a total of only 11 goals.
- Garcia, who took over as head coach on 10 June 2026, has brought a compact, fast-paced style to Madryn that can make them very dangerous in the half-spaces when they get the balance right.
Central Norte
- Central Norte have won only two of their 15 away games in Primera Nacional 2026, drawing five and losing eight.
- Central Norte, on the other hand, have become a bit more conservative in recent months with Mario Sciacqua, who took charge on 29 April 2026, opting for more defensive order after a more intense pressing game early in his reign.
- The visitors average only 0.60 goals per away game in Primera Nacional 2026 and have conceded at a rate of 1.27 per away trip so they will need to be at their best to have a chance.
Head-to-Head
A 3-2 win away in the last head-to-head between these two shows Central Norte have the potential to at least make a game of this even if they are unlikely to pull off another win.
Key Players
- Silba, who has bagged 13 goals in 27 Primera Nacional 2026 matches, has provided much of Madryn's momentum with three goals in the team's last eight.
- Central Norte need Borda to be their sharpest blade with only four goals in 25 matches.
Betting Insights
Under 2.5 goals at 1.44 looks like the better option here as it fits the expectation that Central Norte will sit deep and try to keep it tight against a Madryn side that will punish them for stepping too far out of position.
Prediction
Deportivo Madryn, who will have the advantage of home-field edge, should have enough class to prevail so the odds on Madryn of 1.77 are a bit low in this match-up.
