Midweek match is crucial in Primera Nacional 2026
Friday's midweek Primera Nacional 2026 encounter between Club Atletico Acassuso and Godoy Cruz will have the two sides going in slightly different directions, but both teams will be desperate for the three points to push their season forward. El Tomba currently have the better form, having lost only once in their last 5 outings.
That single defeat was a 1-2 home loss to Deportivo Maipu. Pablo De Muner took charge on 5th May 2026 and has so far brought a much clearer structure to the team and a better sense of role definition.
El Quemero have had more time to settle under Tobias Kohan who took over on the same day. They lost 4-1 away to Deportivo Moron and drew 1-1 at home with CA Ferrocarril Midland.
Godoy Cruz have the edge in the head-to-head record
Away form and match tempo
This could be a cagey affair with Godoy Cruz just edging it rather than a goal fest.
Tactics and midfield battle
Both sides have used a 4-4-2 formation this season, so the midfield could be a duel between two compact midfields with plenty of transitions and set-piece situations to take advantage of.
Betting and key players
Godoy Cruz are the slight favourites at 2.14, but we would rather take the Under 2.5 goals at 1.41 for this one. Godoy Cruz are the better team on paper and have the greater momentum so we're going to support them with the draw no bet market.
- Godoy Cruz have played 11 Primera Nacional 2026 away games this season with 2 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses.
- So, their away form is not their strong point, but they do tend to keep it tight, averaging 0.64 goals away compared to 1.09 they have conceded.
- Ramiro Reynoso is the Primera Nacional 2026's leading scorer for El Quemero with 5 goals in 21 appearances, while Martin Pino has 10 in 24 games and will be the main threat for Godoy Cruz, having scored 3 in his last 5 matches.
