Central Norte will try to make a game of it
ColĂłn de Santa Fe will be delighted to have bounced back with a win after a 1-0 defeat to CA Chaco For Ever when they beat Deportivo Madryn 2-1 away from home yesterday. El Sabalero are 5th in the Primera Nacional 2026 with 32 points from 19 games while Central Norte sit 31st on 19 points from as many games.
They are in the relegation zone, but are not cut adrift in the Primera Nacional 2026 table, and they will be desperate to get something from Sunday's game.
- ColĂłn's recent form has been mixed but encouraging as they have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 in their last 5 matches.
- Central Norte have also been inconsistent of late, winning 1, drawing 3 and losing 1 in their most recent 5 Primera Nacional 2026 matches.
ColĂłn have the quality to win
Betting odds
Ezequiel Medrán's men will be the favourites to do that at 1.65, although Central Norte at 6.0 and the draw at 3.3 are both a little overpriced in this one.
Key players
Julian Lopez leads the scoring for Central Norte in the Primera Nacional 2026 with just 2 goals in 13 games, while Ignacio Lago is the main danger for ColĂłn, also with 6 Primera Nacional 2026 goals in 18 appearances.
Tactics
Medrán's Colón have been playing a compact, pragmatic style from the touchline that can be lethal when they catch fire. However, the directness of Sciacqua's 4-4-2 should enable Central Norte to keep the game cagey, with the visitors looking to punch when they can and then regather.
Not a goal fest on the cards
In that way, Central Norte could do their best to spoil the match and make it difficult for the home team to control the ball, but ColĂłn's structure should help them absorb the visitors' bursts of pressure.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.42 and Both Teams To Score – No at 1.45 both fit the home win narrative and look like solid plays, although Colón should be able to squeeze out a win in the end.
