Almagro’s attack has run out of goals
With just four goals in their last five matches, Almagro have been in poor form lately, registering just one win, two draws and two losses in that period, including a 0-1 defeat at home to Tristan Suarez and a 1-0 loss away to Gimnasia y Tiro in their previous two games.
Almagro’s 10th-placed position in Primera Nacional 2025 with 26 points from 20 matches is a fair reflection of their overall form, as they sit level on points with 8th-placed Deportivo Maipu. Our Almagro vs CD Maipu prediction highlights just how close these teams are in the standings and recent results.
Jorge Cordon, who took over as manager in April 2025, likes to play a rigid, compact defence, employing formations such as 4-4-2 or 5-3-2, which can be effective but leave very little room for manoeuvre in the central areas. Ulises Yegros has been Almagro’s top scorer over the last few games, netting two of the side’s four total goals, but veteran marksman Patricio Cucchi remains the danger man for the hosts, with 4 Primera Nacional 2025 goals in 15 appearances to his name.
Maipu like to get the ball wide and attack at speed
CD Maipu are in similar form to Almagro, as they’ve taken just one win, two draws and two defeats from their most recent five, with a 2-2 draw away to Quilmes and a 0-1 home loss to CA San Miguel from their most recent two.
Since taking over as head coach in late June 2025, Alexis Matteo has instilled a different way of playing on the squad, preferring an open, high-energy style of football that gets the ball in behind the defence as quickly as possible, employing a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 to stretch the play and press opponents aggressively.
Pio Bonacci is Maipu’s danger man, as he has seven league goals in 20 matches so far, including three of Maipu’s last four goals in their recent five-game stretch. The Almagro vs CD Maipu preview suggests Bonacci will be a big threat again this weekend, given that Maipu have only lost one of their last two away, registering one win and a draw.
Back a cagey affair, rather than a result
With similar points and form, the oddsmakers are struggling to split these two sides, with only one place between them in Primera Nacional 2025, which is reflected in the Almagro vs CD Maipu odds.
Almagro’s average of just 0.70 home goals and 0.40 conceded looks like a good starting point for an accurate match result prediction, so this Almagro vs CD Maipu prediction leans towards a tight, cagey 1-1 draw this Saturday.
With neither side really in good form and both looking to press the game, our Almagro vs CD Maipu betting tips suggest confidence in the under 2.5 goals market.
