- Head-to-head: The last two meetings between these two sides in all competitions have resulted in a draw and a win for Agropecuario

- Home form: Almagro's home form is mixed, with 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats in Primera Nacional 2026 so far
A cagey clash awaits on Saturday
This season has been disappointing for both Almagro and Agropecuario so far, with the hosts sitting 33rd in Primera Nacional 2026 with 16 points from 16 matches, while the visitors are 28th with 18 points from their opening 16 matches. Agropecuario have failed to win in 5 matches, drawing 4 and losing once with their last 3 games all ending in draws. Almagro's form is 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in their last 5 matches, securing a 2-0 win at home to Atletico Guemes before a 0-0 draw away at Tristan Suarez.
Almagro
Carlos Mayor took over as head coach of Almagro in late April 2026 and has focussed on creating a solid structure and a tactically flexible system.
Almagro are compact and disciplined, usually setting up in a 4-4-2 or 5-4-1, keeping a tight central line and preventing the opposition from playing through the centre of the field. They are reactive and press selectively, dictating tempo by allowing the opposition to dominate possession but then reacting quickly when they penetrate their central structure.
Key players and stats
- Mateo Benegas is Almagro's top scorer in Primera Nacional 2026 with 4 goals in 14 appearances but Franco Bustamante has provided a spark in attack in their recent games, scoring 2 in 5.
- They have scored just 0.71 goals per match away.
- Brian Leonel Blando leads the frontline with 4 goals in 14 league appearances.
Agropecuario
Agropecuario's style could not be more opposite to that of their opponents on Saturday. Patricio Toranzo took over as manager in April 2026 and has taken a more attack-minded approach to the game than his predecessor. Agropecuario are much more forward thinking and use the width of the pitch to their advantage with their 4-3-3, their passing is more forward and they press with much more intensity.
This is a clash of styles between an attack-minded side and a more defensive, compact approach, both sides average under 2 goals a game and are focused on defence in their respective systems so we are predicting this game to be a tense, low-scoring game that could end in a stalemate.
Almagro's odds for a point are very low and the draw at 2.86 looks like a good bet here, with under 2.5 goals 1.36 and both teams to score – no 1.59 the best value.
