Battling Almirante Brown and Deportivo Madryn
Almirante Brown de Lules have been a solid, reliable outfit in Primera Nacional 2026 since Andres Montenegro took charge on 15 April 2026, grinding out results in a pragmatic, low-to-mid block style before springing fast attacks. The hosts have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five in all competitions and head into Sunday's game in good spirits, although the draw is still the most likely result.
Almirante Brown's last three results have been a 2-0 home win over Ciudad de Bolivar, a 3-1 away loss to Tristan Suarez, and a 2-0 away win. They have won eight, drawn three and lost only two at home in Primera Nacional 2026, conceding an average of 0.46 goals per game, although they aren't the most adventurous outfit going forward. Javier Martinez is their highest scorer in the competition with just three goals from 21 appearances, but his goals are a useful outlet for Almirante Brown.
Auricoles have the momentum
Form and tactics
Deportivo Madryn bring much better recent form into this fixture unbeaten in their last five matches with three wins and two draws across all competitions. Luis Garcia has been in charge of Aurinegro since 10 June 2026 and his brief appears to have been to play a more proactive press, get into pressing positions earlier and play with a sharper intensity.
Recent matches and key player
- The visitors' last three games have been a 1-0 away win at Club Atletico Estudiantes, a 2-2 draw away to San Martin de Tucuman and a 4-0 home rout of Club Atletico Mitre.
- Luis Silba is Madryn's main weapon, leading the Primera Nacional 2026 scoring charts for the club with ten goals from 22 fixtures.
- He has caught fire in recent weeks with four goals from his last five appearances, while Aurinegro have bagged nine from their last five, showing the difference in philosophy between the two sides.
Sides unlikely to split
Deportivo Madryn have conceded 14 goals away in Primera Nacional 2026, or 1.08 per game on average, so the stats point to a low-scoring fixture when Almirante Brown's strength at home meets Madryn's momentum and slight H2H edge.
The odds of 2.22 on the hosts are a little tight here, with the draw at 2.62 and Madryn at 3.87 appearing to be overpriced. Under 2.5 goals at 1.3 is my selection as it fits the script, and both teams to score – No at 1.5 is also a recommendation as the sides have contrasting styles and this could be a real chess match with counterattacking spice.
