- While both sides enter this clash in inconsistent form, it is Jose Maria Martinez’s Suarez who could hold the edge after an unbeaten two-game run against Almagro, winning each match to nil.
- Maximiliano Alvarez has been Tristan Suarez’s main man this season, netting six league goals in 13 appearances, including two in their last five.
- Martinez’s rigid tactical approach has kept the side competitive and consistent in one of the tougher leagues in the world, with 25 points from 15 games to sit eighth.
Almagro
- Almagro, meanwhile, are all the way down in 33rd after a terrible start to the season, with just 15 points from their 15 games so far putting them firmly off the pace of the mid-table sides.
- Franco Bustamante has provided a spark in the final third for Almagro with two of his six goals coming in their last five, but their real goal threat is Mateo Benegas, who has four goals in 14 league appearances this season.

Betting Insights
- Almagro are a side that are more positive in their style, trying to play through the middle of the field and pressing in bursts, while their transition and verticality in the attacking third will be a real test of the hosts’ ability to manage the ball in tight spaces.
- However, this is a real clash of styles that could cancel each other out.
- Suarez are a block team, they like to sit in their defensive shape and press selectively, and this should be a low-paced match with few chances.
- Almagro have lost each of their last two against Suarez and have a terrible overall record against them, while they have also lost five of their 8 away matches in Primera Nacional 2026.
Prediction
Given both sides have struggled in attack recently and Suarez are a defensive unit, I will be going with a home win with under 2.5 goals at 1.34 and Both Teams to Score - No at 1.44 .
