Nueva Chicago
- Nueva Chicago have only won 5 of their 16 Primera Nacional 2026 home games, drawing 8 and losing 3.
- Nueva Chicago's last 5 Primera Nacional 2026 matches have produced 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
- The hosts have suffered back-to-back defeats in Primera Nacional 2026 against Deportivo Maipu and Temperley and have only won 5 of their 16 home games this season.
- Nueva Chicago have conceded just 11 goals at home in Primera Nacional 2026, which is 0.69 per game and has kept them in games.
Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy
- Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy have won 4, drawn 5 and lost 7 of their 16 Primera Nacional 2026 away games.
- Lobo have been sturdier in recent weeks, although 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat from their last 5 matches has hardly been sensational form.
- The visitors have conceded 27 goals in Primera Nacional 2026, which at 1.69 per game on the road is respectable in this division.
Head-to-Head
- Gimnasia Y. Jujuy beat Chicago 4-0 when they last met in Primera Nacional 2026 three months ago, but the Torito avoided defeat at Chicago.
- Chicago are 29th in Primera Nacional 2026 with 36 points from 33 games while Gimnasia Y. Jujuy are seventh with 55 points from as many games.
Key Players
- But the Lobo have left gaps that the hosts can get at on the counter and we think Maximiliano Rogoski, who has scored 5 Primera Nacional 2026 goals in 30 games for Chicago, has the best chance of breaking them through.
- Cristian Menendez has scored 7 Primera Nacional 2026 goals in 24 appearances for the Lobo, so they do have a proven finisher up top.
- Gaston Lotitto's side have tried to be compact and strong in a 4-1-4-1, using duels and intensity to hold off their opponents and trying to play vertically at every opportunity to catch their opponents off guard.
- Hernan Pellerano has stamped an identity on his side with patience in build-up and organisation in transition.
Betting Insights
- Nueva Chicago are slight favorites at 2.22 for Saturday's Primera Nacional 2026 clash with Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy, with the draw coming in at 3.0 and the away side at 3.34.
- That doesn't look right to us, as both sides have been in indifferent form and there's not much to choose between the clubs.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.42 looks the best bet of the goal markets while both teams to score - No at 1.6 also fits the script.
Prediction
- We're leaning towards Nueva Chicago to win this one as they are the home team and have been good at avoiding defeats in their own back yard this season, but the Lobo are live to grab a point.
- Expect a tight, low-scoring game where the hosts' compact home form meets Gimnasia's organised approach and the match could be decided by a single chance from a counter or a set-piece.
- Market suggestions to consider are Under 2.5 goals and Both Teams To Score - No, reflecting the likely tight nature of the game and both sides' recent form.
