Nueva Chicago
- Nueva Chicago are 18th in Primera Nacional 2026 with 21 points from 15 matches, but they will be aiming to climb the standings with a win against Atletico de Rafaela.
- Chicago have lost three, drawn one and won one of their last five matches, but recent results have been much better, with a 2-0 home win over Chacarita Juniors followed by a 1-1 home draw against Temperley.
- Sebastian Cocimano is their danger man, the striker leading the team with five Primera Nacional 2026 goals in 14 games.
Atletico de Rafaela
- Atletico de Rafaela are in a much better league position with 26 points from 17 games in ninth, but they have also had a mixed bag of results in recent weeks.
- A 1-0 win over Colegiales at home was followed by a 0-0 draw at Patronato de Parana.
Head-to-Head
- Nueva Chicago are the more potent forward side, while Atletico de Rafaela are compact and solid at the back.
- Nueva Chicago have won each of their last two Primera Nacional head-to-head meetings, thumping Rafaela 5-1 as away team last season.
Key Players
- Sebastian Cocimano is their danger man, the striker leading the team with five Primera Nacional 2026 goals in 14 games.
- Martiniano Moreno is the danger man for Rafaela, having scored six Primera Nacional 2026 goals in 16 appearances.
Betting Insights
- The bookmakers are favouring the home side slightly with a 2.49 price for them to claim all three points, but they may edge it in a low-scoring affair given the defensive discipline of both teams.
- There is enough to suggest only one team will score here, with odds for Both Teams to Score - No at 1.51, while the odds for Under 2.5 Goals at 1.29 also make sense.
Prediction
Atletico de Rafaela are without a win in their last head-to-head away meeting against Nueva Chicago , so it is hard to see them getting a result on Saturday.
