Patronato:
CA Patronato enter this game on the back of a run of 0 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss from their last 5 matches, a sequence which includes a 0-0 home draw with Atletico Rafaela and a 1-1 draw with CA Ferrocarril Midland.
Marcelo Candia has had CA playing a pragmatic and reactive game since his appointment on 17 April 2026 and they will look to do what they do best, sit in and counter attack against San Martin on Sunday.
San Martin:
San Martin Tucuman come into Sunday's game on the back of a 2-0 away loss to Colegiales and a 1-1 draw at Temperley, so they have a bit of momentum to stop before going into this one.
Alejandro Orfila's San Martin have been far more positive in the month since he took over on 14 June 2026. His 4-1-4-1 system is set up to press opponents higher up the field and force faster transitions, they will want to win the ball in the first third and get the ball to their forwards as quickly as possible.
A cagey draw looks possible here
There will be a contrast in styles and that should make this a chess game. San Martin will want to speed up the game, Patronato will look to slow it down.
San Martin's away form has been patchy, 0 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in their last 3, but they have an extra motivation to make a move here as they haven't won at Patronato in their last 2 attempts.
- Hernan Rivero is Patronato's sharpest player and most dangerous box threat with 2 goals in 14 Primera Nacional 2026 appearances.
- Patronato will hope he can make chances for others and be the one to make the difference up top, Diego Diellos has been San Martin's sharpest box threat this term with 4 goals in 16 Primera Nacional 2026 games, and they will be looking to him for a breakthrough here.
- Patronato are a stubborn side at home, 0 wins, 3 draws, 0 defeats in their last 3, but they will need to get something here to go up the table.
Game in a nutshell
CA are sitting 25th in Primera Nacional 2026 with 21 points from 18 games, while San Martin are 19th with 23 points from 18. This looks like a tight game, so under 2.5 goals at 1.3 and Both Teams to Score No at 1.5 both back the low scoring script.
San Martin score an average of 0.67 goals per game away from home in Primera Nacional 2026, conceding an average of 1.11. Patronato score 1.00 per game at home, conceding 0.78.
