A tale of two approaches
Almagro's setup
Almagro line up in a compact 4-4-2 formation and will set up to be solid defensively and strong on the counter attack on Saturday. Their priority is not possession of the ball, they want to be compact and organised, and create dangerous situations in transition. Carlos Mayor has brought some stability to the team since taking the reins and if they can stay solid at the back, they will give themselves a chance of nicking a point against CA Atlanta.
Atlanta's approach
Cristian Pellerano's men are a much more fluid outfit, with a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 system depending on the game. They will press high and try to control the pace of the game by dominating possession, which will be a challenge given Almagro's tactical approach. Alejandro Quintana has been solid as ever in attack for Atlanta this season, bagging 4 goals in 17 league appearances so far, and he will be a key figure for Atlanta to get the goals on Saturday.
CA Atlanta to take the 3 points
CA Atlanta's current form, defensive solidity of both teams in recent weeks and the last two head-to-head results suggest this game won't be full of goalmouth action.
Odds for an away win are not great, but I am confident Atlanta can get the 3 points on Saturday.
- These two sides have only met twice in all competitions, once each home and away, and Almagro have failed to win either match-up.
- They drew 0-0 here in Primera Nacional 2025 and Atlanta claimed a win in the reverse fixture.
- The visitors have won their last two games, 3-0 at home against Gimnasia Jujuy and 2-1 away to CA Ferrocarril Midland and should be able to continue their good form with another victory on Saturday.
