- Head-to-head: San Telmo won in 5 of the last 5 H2H meetings (all San Telmo) and in the last clash in Primera Nacional 2026 (3-1).
- League position: Colón are 5th in Primera Nacional 2026 with 36 points from 23 games while San Telmo are 29th with just 23 points from 22.
Sensational San Telmo will be tough as always
Colón de Santa Fe come into this game as the clear favorites at 1.55, but there is enough reason to question their straight win chances and take the points at higher odds against CA San Telmo on Saturday. The visitors are 6.6 for the win while the draw is 3.5, both of which are much too high for our tastes.
Colón are currently fifth in Primera Nacional 2026 and have a 13-point cushion over San Telmo who're 29th, so on paper it is a match that they should win, but the visitors will come to Santa Fe looking to extend their head-to-head record against the hosts. San Telmo have won five of the last five meetings, all of them while in the second-tier, while Colón are yet to taste victory in their previous two home games against them.
Ezequiel Medrán's men come into this fixture in mixed form after losing 1-0 at home to CA Chaco For Ever before earning a 1-1 draw away to Acassuso. It's a fair score from a similar 5-game period, but the end product hasn't been the best and they'll need to be at their best to see off their dangerous Buenos Aires visitors on Saturday.
Sneaky San Telmo can give Colon a scare
Tactics
Marcelo Vázquez has set up his men to play in a more proactive manner in recent weeks, pushing them higher up the pitch in an attempt to press opponents and push the ball forward quickly through the thirds when it is in possession. That should make for an interesting clash on the night as Colón are set up to be flexible at the back and wide thanks to wing-backs, but also to be compact, fast and clinical on the break.
Players
Ignacio Lago is the main goal scorer for Colon with eight Primera Nacional 2026 goals in 22 games, but Alan Bonansea has scored three of their seven goals over the past five fixtures and can give this attack some bite.
The verdict
Colón should edge this clash based on their home edge and league position alone, but we will take a chance on San Telmo to make life tough for the hosts on the back of their incredible H2H record against them.
- Colón average 1.45 goals per home match in Primera Nacional 2026 and have scored 16 goals at home, so they should find a way through at some point.
- But San Telmo average 0.60 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per away match in Primera Nacional 2026, so they must be cautious on the counter.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.53 looks right and both teams no goals at 1.52 is also a fit for this one, but our main selection will be for Colón to win and both teams to score.
