Tight game on the cards
Form and tactics
Club Atletico Colegiales come into this game on the back of two consecutive victories, 2-0 at home to San Martin de Tucuman and 3-1 here against Quilmes, so they should have some momentum going into this one. Leonardo Fernandez has kept his side fairly compact in Primera Nacional 2026, but they are no longer just a defensive unit and will always be a threat on the counter attack.
They usually play in a 4-4-2 or a 4-5-1 shape and will try to block off space around the box before hitting their opponents on the break.
Opposition and recent results
Gimnasia y Tiro have played with more width and have pressed a little higher under Juan Manuel Azconzabal, who has given his side more of a vertical dimension since taking charge. However, their last two games have seen them fall short, a 1-0 away loss to Quilmes and 0-0 draw at Deportivo Maipu, so the visitors haven't been the best in front of goal recently.
Key players
- Lautaro Gordillo has been their danger man in Primera Nacional 2026 with seven goals in 15 appearances and remains the main marksman, while Rodrigo Monserrat has chipped in with two goals in Colegiales last five games.
- Nicolas Toloza is the leader with four in 17 and the hosts have hit the net five times in their last five.
Home advantage key
Gimnasia y Tiro will be up for this one as they have failed to win their last away game against Colegiales, but the home side are the more likely winner here given their form and the fact they are a formidable force in their backyard.
The odds reflect that with the home team at 1.93, the visitors at 4.3 and the draw at 2.88. However, Under 2.5 goals at 1.32 seems the way to go here and Both Teams to Score – No at 1.47 also appeals given the form of the pair.
The last head-to-head in Primera Nacional 2026 was a 2-1 home win for Gimnasia y Tiro, but they have one win apiece in the last two meetings and this looks set to be a tight and cagey clash.
