Almagro are slightly superior to Colegiales
Almagro are 22nd in Primera Nacional 2026 with 30 points from 25 games, but they sit level on points with Saturday's opponents Club Atletico Colegiales, who have played one match less. Tricolor will need to perform well in this clash if they are to improve on a mid-table standing, as the Cole. are 21st in the table with 30 points from 24 matches.
There hasn't been much to get excited about from either team this season, but Almagro have been far more solid at home, where they have won six of their 12 matches while scoring 13 and conceding only nine. Colegiales have been woeful on their travels, with just one win and only 4 goals scored away from home all season.
Direct play versus low-block counter
Tactical approaches
The matchup here is between Carlos Mayor's direct game, which involves lots of direct play, wide crosses and a good use of set pieces, against Leonardo Fernandez's compact team, who soak up pressure and counter with discipline.
Recent form
Almagro are in slightly worse form than Colegiales with two defeats, two draws and one win from their last five, but their form has tailed off with a 1-1 draw away to Quilmes and a 2-0 defeat away to Deportivo Moron their two most recent results. Colegiales have two wins, one draw and two defeats from their last 5.
Prediction
A goal-fest looks unlikely based on the stats and this could be a rough and rugged game so Under 2.5 goals at 1.27 looks a strong play here.
Mateo Benegas is Almagro’s most trustworthy finisher
Almagro are the better team and should win this at home, but 2.64 is a lot of value on the hosts, although Colegiales are 2.81 and the draw is 2.66, so the line leans towards the home side slightly, but this could still go the way of the visitors or, most likely, end in a draw.
- Mateo Benegas leads the scoring for Almagro in Primera Nacional 2026 with five goals from 23 appearances, while Colegiales' top scorer is Nicolas Toloza, who also has 5 from 23.
- Joel Orlando has been in good nick for Tricolor lately with 2 goals in their last 5, but Leonel Alejandro Ortiz is the best bet on the Cole roster to score here with 2 in the same number of games.
