- Team status: Racing de Cordoba (28) and Club Atletico Acassuso (32) are two of the bottom three teams in the Primera Nacional 2026 table.
- Table positions: La Academia Cordobesa (28th, 21 points from 19 games) are ahead of Acassuso (32nd, 19 points from 19) in the relegation zone.
- Head-to-head: Acassuso won the last head-to-head meeting 3-0, but Acassuso can definitely get on the scoreboard.
Back the draw at 3.65
Racing de Cordoba arrive at Estadio Miguel Sancho on Sunday off the back of a 2-0 home win over CA Chaco For Ever, a 2-0 away loss to San Telmo, and a 1-1 draw with Club Atletico Estudiantes, so their form has been mixed through the last five matches in all competitions (W1, D3, L1). Club Atletico Acassuso arrive at the same venue off the back of a 2-1 away defeat to Ferro Carril Oeste, a 0-2 home loss to CA San Miguel, and a 1-1 draw away at CA Chaco For Ever, so their results have been mixed-to-poor (W1, D2, L2).
The bookmakers have Racing as the obvious favorites in this Primera Nacional 2026 match-up at 1.45, with the draw available at 3.65 and Acassuso a 8.25 dark horse.
Acassuso can make a game of it
Recent records
While Racing have lost more than they would like (W4, D3, L2) at home in Primera Nacional 2026, Acassuso's record of W1, D3, L6 on the road in the same competition, is far from attractive.
Managers and tactics
Tobias Kohan took charge of Acassuso on 5 May 2026 and has established a compact, structure-first game plan ever since. His side will line-up in a compact 4-2-3-1 formation, sit in a rigid defensive structure, and look to nick chances on the counter and from set pieces.
Gustavo Coleoni arrived at the helm of Racing de Cordoba on 25 June 2026 and his teams are generally more intense, direct, and high-tempo. La Academia Cordobesa should come at this game with more of a high press, they should be more urgent on the transition, and they should be able to create more width and overlaps on the offensive end.
Don’t expect a goal bonanza
With Racing scoring just 11 goals in nine Primera Nacional 2026 home games and Acassuso conceding 12 goals in 10 Primera Nacional 2026 away games, we can surmise that this will be a tight matchup, and one which should be edged by the home side.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.45 makes more appeal than either side at this stage because neither style of play is geared towards a goal-fest. It should be a bit of a chess match between Acassuso's compact shell and Racing's vertical surge.
- Leandro Cordoba has 5 goals in 18 games, making him Racing's sharpest finisher in Primera Nacional 2026, while Ramiro Reynoso has four goals in 17 and is Acassuso's main threat up top.
- Back Pablo Chavarria to get on the board for Racing with a pair of goals in their last five – he has two of Racing's four goals in their last five – while Agustin Hermoso can keep Acassuso in the match with a brace from his two goals in five.
