Chaco For Ever in a tough spot
Recent form and coaching
CA Chaco For Ever have endured a miserable campaign so far, and they head into Saturday's clash with Colon de Santa Fe, who are flying high in sixth, and sit 36th in the Primera Nacional 2026 table with just nine points from 17 matches. Pedro Llorens, who took over as head coach, is yet to find the magic formula that can turn around their season, and their winless streak was extended last weekend with a 1-2 defeat at home to Gimnasia y Esgrima.
Playing style and threats
That result followed a 1-1 draw at Deportivo Maipu and a 0-2 defeat at Sportivo Las Parejas. However, Llorens does have his side set up to press well in the attacking third, and when they do that well they can catch teams out on the counterattack. Leonardo Marinucci is their biggest threat in attack, notching four Primera Nacional 2026 goals in 15 appearances, but they've been unable to sustain the required intensity over 90 minutes so far this season.
Colon are flying
Form and recent performances
Colon de Santa Fe head coach Ezequiel Medran has got his side playing with flexibility and a promotion drive since taking over in August 2025. They are sixth in Primera Nacional 2026, having taken 29 points from 17 games, and are unbeaten in their last five. The Sabalero had a 1-1 draw away to Central Cordoba, a 0-0 home draw with Agropecuario and a 3-0 away win over Villa Dálmine, their most recent three games, but it was the win that stood out. It was a full-blooded performance by Colon, where they showed their ability to play through the thirds at pace and dominate.
Key players
- Winger Marcioni, and midfielders Lértora and Antonio provide the creativity, while Ignacio Lago is their main attacking outlet up front.
- The Argentine has bagged six goals in 17 games, with two in the last five, and he could be a big threat to Chaco For Ever's fragile defence.
Sabalero to secure the three points
Home form and matchup
CA Chaco For Ever has won once, drawn three times and lost four from their eight home games in Primera Nacional 2026, conceding 11 goals. Colon is a better side and will have the promotion drive to push through on Saturday.
Odds and expected patterns
Colon's odds of 2.37 look fair, but the 2.23 odds on Both Teams to Score – Yes look more attractive given the nature of both sides' set-ups and the fact that CA Chaco For Ever has home advantage.
Tactical outlook and tips
Colon will be the dominant side in a game of possession and tempo but For Ever will be compact and dangerous on the break. I expect a close game, so Under 2.5 goals at 1.35 looks a bit on the low side given the quality of both teams in attack.
The Sabalero's best bet is to outscore their opponents and their extra quality should see them through. Colon to win and Both Teams to Score looks a good bet.
