Tight test for Tristán Suárez
Tristán Suárez are a very useful side who sit 7th in Primera Nacional 2026 with 30 points from 19 matches, still in the Reducido race thanks to José María Martínez's solid work since he took over on 30 April 2024.
They are in mixed form overall (W1, D3, L1) but have been solid at home, where they have gone unbeaten in their recent match, so there are some positive vibes around the club.
Nueva Chicago need a big result
League and management:
Nueva Chicago are all over the place in 18th spot in Primera Nacional 2026 after taking 25 points from 18 games. Germán Lanaro took over on 22 May 2026 and has led his side to a more vertical game, but they still need a massive run of results to climb the table.
Recent form:
They have been in mixed form recently (W2, D2, L1) but have failed to win their last game away, which is a bit of a red flag ahead of this trip. They drew 0-0 with Atlético Rafaela in their previous match and beat Atlético Güemes 2-0 on the previous trip out, so they have been a bit blunt recently.
Players to watch:
- Maximiliano Álvarez is Tristán's top scorer in Primera Nacional 2026 with 6 goals in 17 matches and he'll likely be their main outlet on Saturday against a side that plays a more vertical game.
- Maximiliano Rogoski is Nueva's leading scorer in Primera Nacional 2026 with 5 in 18, and he has been clinical enough to keep Chicago in games when they have been able to play with tempo on the front foot.
Suárez’s structure can stifle Chicago
Lanaro's 4-3-3 system is based on high pressing and a lot of width which should test the shape that Martínez has built at Tristán Suárez, so Chicago should be able to push them wide at times on Saturday. But this game still looks like structure against tempo, with Martínez's men looking to sit in a low-to-medium block, absorb pressure and pick their moments to counterattack.
A Suárez win at 2.22 is slightly more likely than the draw at 2.75, while Chicago are a big underdog at 3.48. The most likely outcome is a tight win for the hosts or another tie, with under 2.5 goals at 1.45 the safest play.
Both teams no goals at 1.56 is a decent pick too as the last meeting was 0-0 and Chicago's width and pressing game could just see them edge this one. Álvarez's finishing gives the home side the edge in these type of games where one moment can change everything.
