Sides will set up in different ways, but the approach should be similar
Tactical setup
Gimnasia y Tiro coach Juan Manuel Azconzabal has set his team up in a 4-4-2 which is built on a compact block and the ability to break quickly when they can. They are a tough team to beat, as their home record of four wins, five draws and two defeats from 11 in Primera Nacional 2026 indicates.
Mariano Raul Echeverria has CD Maipu set up in a 4-5-1 or a 4-2-3-1, they will spread the play wide, keep the ball and use active pressing to push opponents into making errors. Maipu's away record of two wins, three draws and five defeats from 10 in Primera Nacional 2026 is average, but they average 1.50 goals per game on the road – 15 in total – so they have a sharper edge than most on the away side.
Key players

- Juan Gobetto leads the Maipu attack, as he has six goals in 20 Primera Nacional 2026 matches, although Tomas Silva has three of his team's last five, so he is red hot.
Goals are unlikely in Salta
