Tristan Suarez
- Tristan Suarez are 3rd in Primera Nacional 2026, having taken 20 points from 11 matches.
- Suarez are unbeaten at home in 6 matches (Won 3, drawn 3, conceded 3 goals) while Midland have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their 5 away matches this season.
- Jose Maria Martinez has done a good job since taking over in April 2024, instilling tactical flexibility and a pragmatic edge to the team that has made them regulars in the upper reaches of the table.
- Suarez are a good example of the value of having a versatile system with one that can play either 4-3-3 or 5-4-1 with equal skill.
- Suarez’s recent form reads as one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five games with a tough 0-0 draw at San Martin Tucuman followed by a gritty home win over Gimnasia y Tiro (2-1) and a disappointing 3-1 loss at CA Atlanta.
CA Ferrocarril Midland
- CA Ferrocarril Midland are 12th in the same table, having accumulated 16 points from 11 outings.
- Midland are one of those teams that will most likely get the 5-4-1 version of Suarez this weekend as Iturreria has set up his team to be disciplined and compact in a 4-4-2 formation in which the double pivot can stifle attacks.
- Midland are in mixed form too with two wins, one draw and two losses in their last five, including a close 1-0 away loss to Chacarita Juniors and a spirited 2-1 home win over Club Atletico Guemes.
