- Defensive record: Los Andes have conceded just 1 goal in 6 away Primera Nacional 2026 games (0.17 goals per game)
- Form: Los Andes are unbeaten in 5 league matches (W2, D3), including their last 2 away games (D2).
Los Andes are solid on the road
CA Los Andes are the clear favorites to beat Mitre this Sunday, and rightfully so, based on the relative form of the 2 clubs, and their respective home and away records. Leonardo Lemos's side have been one of the most defensively sound teams in the Primera Nacional 2026 since Lemos took over in September 2024, and have conceded just 1 goal in their 6 away league games this term.
Los Andes are 6th in the table with 26 points from 16 matches, and their solid run of 5 league games (W2, D3) has put them well on the way to ensuring their survival for another season in the 2nd tier.
Mitre have struggled for consistency all season, and in particular, in home games, where their form has been mixed (W3, D1, L3). Los Andes, meanwhile, are one of the most solid away teams in the Primera Nacional, and are unbeaten in 6 games on the road (W3, D3).
Solid teams set for a close contest
Coach form and tactics
Cristian Mazzon has struggled for results at Club Atletico Mitre since taking over as head coach in April 2026. His side have won just 1 of their last 5 matches (D2, L2), and have lost their last 2 outings, 1-3 at home to Deportivo Moron, and 2-1 away at Godoy Cruz.
A matchup of solidity versus possession is likely to lead to a tactical chess game, and the visitors are unlikely to be the instigators of any chances.
- Both sides typically set up in a 4-4-2 formation, but the approaches of both coaches are very different.
- Mitre will prioritize being compact and organised at the back, and countering in numbers when they win the ball.
- Los Andes are more patient in build up, and are a possession team who will look to break teams down through the wings.
Key players
- Mitre do have a reliable goalscorer in Marcos Machado, who has 5 goals in 16 league appearances this season, and has netted 3 of Mitre's last 7 goals.
- However, Los Andes also have a player capable of making a difference in attacking areas in Mauricio Asenjo, who has 5 league goals in 15 appearances this term.
Betting outlook
The visitors should edge a tight contest against a team in poor form, and odds of 3.62 for an away win look attractive, while 'Both Teams to Score – No' is a near even money bet at 1.49.
Under 2.5 match goals is a safer play at 1.28, as Mitre have only scored 10 times in 7 home league outings this season.
