An even affair between two similar sides
There is no recent or significant head-to-head record between these two sides in the Argentina Primera B Nacional, suggesting this is a relatively rare fixture.
The two clubs have similar recent form and will be eager to extend their unbeaten streaks, with Nueva Chicago taking 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss across their last 5 in all competitions.
Nueva Chicago’s coach, Walter Perazzo, has emphasized structure and compactness this season, making his side a tough nut to crack. However, his game plan, which involves slow-to-moderate tempo and tight defensive blocks, has stifled the attacking output of the home side.
Defenders and the goalkeeper have arguably been the most important players for the hosts this term, as they have scored just 0.8 goals per match. Conversely, they have only conceded 0.6 goals per match, a stat which reflects their defensive stability and lack of risk-taking. Regarding the betting market, the Nueva Chicago vs Club Atletico Mitre odds reflect this expected defensive battle and relatively low goal count.
Mitre a balanced side
Their recent 2-2 draw against Temperley showed that they can play attacking football on the road, but also that their defense is far from impenetrable.
Bruno Duarte and Ezequiel Almirón will be key for their side to unlock the solid backline of Nueva Chicago.
Given their similar mid-table position, we see this game being a closely fought match which could go either way, and our Nueva Chicago vs Club Atletico Mitre prediction points to a very narrow margin separating the teams.
No side stands out as a strong favourite here, but this Nueva Chicago vs Club Atletico Mitre betting tips section highlights the likelihood of a deadlock or a gritty 1-0 win for either squad as the most probable result.
