Tight game expected between struggling San Martin and solid Tristan Suarez
San Martín
San Martín de San Juan are 18th in Primera Nacional 2026 with 26 points from 19 matches, so need a run of home results to bring themselves back into the fray. Alejandro Javier Schiapparelli has been in charge since 15 April 2026, so his team are still coming together, but already have some of the qualities of a patient, possession-first side that will try to open up the game.
San Martín's home form is reasonably strong in Primera Nacional 2026 with just 7 goals conceded, giving them an average of 0.78 goals against at Estadio Ingeniero Oscar Silvestri. They have won 4, drawn 3 and lost 2 in Primera Nacional 2026 at home, and their recent form in all competitions is a mixed 2 wins and 3 defeats from their last 5 outings.
They have been a little punchier of late with a 2-0 win over Agropecuario, 0-1 loss to Chacarita Juniors, and 0-2 away defeat to Atlético Güemes, but will need a better finish to this run to climb the table.
Tristán Suárez
Tristán Suárez are a tough, well-drilled side to break down, sitting 6th in Primera Nacional 2026 with 33 points from 20 games. José María Martínez, in charge since 30 April 2024, seems to have them playing a very consistent 4-4-2 or 4-5-1, sitting with a low-to-mid block, and countering quickly when opponents overcommit.
They have been a touch more consistent of late with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their last 5 games across all competitions, but the away form is less convincing with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat in their last 3.
San Martin to nick a close affair
Tristán Suárez will give San Martín a game and will be solid enough to keep it tight for a good chunk of the match, but in the end the hosts are likely to have the edge at home in a low-scoring affair.
In the match result market, we'll take the favourites at 1.89 ahead of Tristán Suárez at 4.66 and the tie at 2.81.
This is a possession vs counterattack game with San Martín favouring the former and Tristán Suárez the latter, so we'll be surprised if both teams score, but do expect a tight game that will be tough to predict. Under 2.5 goals is marked at 1.3 and Both Teams to Score – No at 1.45.
