- Home team: CA Estudiantes Caseros are 14th in Primera Nacional 2026 with 27 points from 19 games.
- Away team: Club Atletico Mitre are 34th in Primera Nacional 2026 with 18 points from 19 matches.
- Recent form: Estudiantes are unbeaten in their last 5 matches (3 wins, 2 draws) and Mitre have taken only 1 draw from their last 5, losing the other 4.
Mitre are in a bind
The hosts go into this match as the clear favorites at 1.75, with Mitre available at 5.0 and the draw at 3.1. However, the visitors do have the better of the head-to-head record in this one, winning 3 of the last 5 meetings, although they only beat Estudiantes 1-0 here at home in Primera Nacional 2026.
Alfredo Grelak's side are in much the better form, so the hosts look well placed to edge this game and the odds reflect that accurately, although the nature of the game looks more likely to be a controlled home win rather than a blowout victory. Estudiantes have been solid on home ground in Primera Nacional 2026, picking up 3 wins, 4 draws and just 2 losses from 9 matches.
Their latest results include a 2-1 home win over All Boys, a 2-1 away scalp at Ciudad de Bolivar and a 1-1 draw with Racing de Cordoba.
Estudiantes can hold firm
Mitre's away struggles
Mitre have also been poor, taking just 1 draw from their last 5 games and losing the other 4. The visitors have drawn 7 of their 10 away games in Primera Nacional 2026 and lost the other 3, so it looks like they'll struggle once again.
Tactics and defence
Cristian Mazzon has been steering Mitre since 21 April 2026 and they still look short of rhythm and cohesion. The El Aurinegro are usually set up in a 4-4-2 with a direct transition and they aim to hit Estudiantes on the counter-attack.
Grelak prefers a compact 4-5-1 system, he likes to control the game in the midfield and emphasizes defensive discipline. The home side are rock-solid at the back in Primera Nacional 2026, conceding just 7 goals, which is a 0.78 per-game average.
Low-scoring affair likely
Estudiantes have averaged 1.0 goals at home across the last 5 head-to-head meetings, while Mitre have scored an average of 0.5 goals away from home in the same period, so under 2.5 goals at 1.37 suits the script. Both teams to score-No at 1.46 also fits, as a low-scoring and tight affair seems likely.
- Ian Vera has been in the zone for Estudiantes of late, scoring 2 of their 6 goals over the 5-match unbeaten run.
- Enzo Acosta is their top scorer overall in Primera Nacional 2026, however, with 3 goals in 16 games.
- Mitre's main man is Marcos Machado with 7 goals in 19 matches, but he has also contributed 3 goals.
