Head-to-Head
- Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy have won the last 2 meetings of the two clubs, edging out Temperley 1-0 at home in Primera Nacional 2026 4 months ago.
- Temperley have won 10, drawn 3 and lost 2 of their 15 Primera Nacional 2026 home matches, but are the favorites at 2.26 for this clash.
Temperley (home)
- The Gasolero are sitting on 53 points after 31 games, only one fewer than Lobo, who have only 1 point more, so Saturday's game is a real top end clash in this division.
- Nicolas Domingo has made Temperley hard to beat since taking charge on 6 December 2025 by deploying a compact, central-heavy, 4-3-1-2 or 4-4-2 lineup.
- Temperley are 3-1-1 in their last 5 matches and recorded their 10th home win of Primera Nacional 2026 last month when beating Almagro 3-1 on their own patch.
- Domingo's men lost 1-0 away to Deportivo Maipu last time out, but have won their last 2 at home, averaging 1.87 goals scored and 1.13 goals conceded on their own ground in Primera Nacional 2026.
Gimnasia Jujuy (away)
- Gimnasia Jujuy have been a hard to crack since Hernan Pellerano took over on 18 November 2025 by packing his shape into a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 that can transition from one to the other at speed.
- Lobo can overrun Temperley's compact system if they catch the Gasolero off guard, but in a chess match, this could be close and the pressure may tell on Pellerano's players.
- Lobo are 5 games unbeaten, having played out a 1-1 draw away to mid-table Deportivo Maipu and then 2-2 at home to another mid-table side, San Martin de Tucuman.
- Pellerano's men have been stifled in their recent run of 2 wins and 3 draws by successive ties and are not showing enough killer instinct in the top six battle.
Key Players
- Francisco Molina has been in good form for the away side, scoring 2 of their 6 goals in their last 5 games, but the home side have a more clinical attacker in Fernando Brandan.
- Brandan is the team's top scorer with 6 goals in 26 Primera Nacional 2026 appearances, which should be enough for Temperley to edge out their opponents on Saturday.
Betting Insights
- Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy have won 4, tied 5 and lost 6 of their 15 Primera Nacional 2026 away matches, which is why they are marginal underdogs at 3.36 here.
- The draw at 2.85 looks generous, but the under 2.5 goals at 1.45 and both teams to score No at 1.61 plays a tight, low margin battle that the hosts are just about good enough to win.
Prediction
Under 2.5 goals and both teams to score No is the play
