An open match expected in Salta
Club Atletico Guemes occupy 30th position in Primera Nacional 2026 after 15 games with 16 points, while visitors CD Maipu are in 13th with 21 points from as many matches. Both sides are in decent form, but a recent upturn for the hosts has seen them win 2 of their last 5 and go unbeaten in their 2 most recent home games. CD Maipu have 3 wins, a draw and a loss in their recent 5 games, which represents a marked improvement in form.
Pablo Guinazu was appointed to manage Guemes in May 2026 and has been tasked with getting the best out of a squad which are compact and organised, often ceding possession and counter attacking.
- Mariano Raul Echeverria took charge of Maipu in April 2026 and has implemented a more proactive, possession-based system with a higher tempo and attacking style.
- Guemes have won 1 and drawn 2 of the last 3 head-to-heads, while Maipu have never beaten Guemes at this ground, with the last Primera Nacional 2025 edition of this fixture finishing 1-1.
Maipu can make their mark on this game
Form and odds
Maipu have performed much better away from home of late, picking up 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in their most recent 3 Primera Nacional 2026 road games. The odds for an away win look slightly high at 3.59 and we’re backing the visitors to get the win in this game.
Tactical match-up
Echeverria’s men will look to exploit Guemes’ compact defensive structure with the pace of Saccone on the flanks and the guile of Eggel in central midfield. Guinazu will look to contain Maipu and use Guemes' forwards' pace to hurt their opponents.
Expected pattern and betting
The contrasting approaches of these 2 sides should lead to a very open and entertaining game that has the potential to see a few goals. The odds for both teams to score (Yes) and over 2.5 total goals are 2.04 and 2.38 respectively, which is a bit rich considering both clubs are going to look to press each other and their natural inclinations will suit an attacking style game.
