San Martin de San Juan
- San Martin de San Juan sit 17th in the Primera Nacional 2026 table (23 points from 17 matches).
- Alejandro Javier Schiapparelli has been in charge since 15 April 2026 and he has seen enough from his side to suggest they can win this.
- Schiapparelli has set up a compact 4-3-3 system and has a focal point up front in Nazareno Funez, who can score goals in bunches for a Primera Nacional team (5 in 15 Primera Nacional 2026 appearances).
- San Martin have been much the better side at home and average 1.25 goals on their home turf in the Primera Nacional 2026, which supports the idea that they should have enough to pinch this one.
Chacarita Juniors
- Chacarita Juniors are 29th in the Primera Nacional 2026 standings (19 points from 18 games).
- San Martin de San Juan are the form favorites heading into the game (W3, D0 and L2 from their last five) while Chacarita Juniors come into the match in bad form (W1, D1 and L3 from their last five).
- Cristian Emilio Grabinski has been in charge of the side since 2nd April 2026.
- They have a structured 4-2-3-1 and have added a double pivot and been more patient on the ball.

Betting Insights
- San Martin have a decent record at home in the Primera Nacional 2026 of W4, D3 and L1 while Chacarita's away record looks bad with W0, D2 and L6.
- The stats don't lie here and they tell us that San Martin will be favourites to win at 1.64.
- The draw at 3.22 is a decent price as a result.
Prediction
- I'll lean towards San Martin given how much the away side are struggling.
- Both teams to score looks less likely than it should do at 1.46 No as a result, so I will go with Under 2.5 goals at 1.39, which fits the head-to-head history (1-1 last time out) and the styles of the two sides.
