- Almagro are 22nd in Primera Nacional 2026 with 30 points from 25 games, level on points with Colegiales but with a game in hand.
- Colegiales have lost 9 of 12 away games in Primera Nacional 2026, scoring just 0.33 goals per game on the road.
- Almagro have conceded just 0.75 goals per game at home in Primera Nacional 2026.
Almagro can just edge it on home soil
Colegiales have the edge in the head to head between these two sides in Primera Nacional 2026, winning the last two meetings, including a 1-0 home victory 4 months ago.
However, Almagro have been in mixed form recently, winning one, drawing two and losing two of their last five games. Recent results have included a 1-1 away draw to Quilmes and a 2-0 defeat on the road to Deportivo Moron, so it's hard to be too positive about the hosts going into Saturday's game. This Almagro vs Club Atletico Colegiales preview points to a tight contest, with little to separate the two teams.
Colegiales have also been in unconvincing form, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five. These sides are level on 30 points, with Almagro from 25 games and Colegiales from 24, in Primera Nacional 2026 and the home side is a slight favorite at the time of writing, with Almagro priced at 2.64, Colegiales at 2.81 and the draw at 2.66.
Back Under 2.5 goals
Both Almagro and Colegiales have been in mediocre form ahead of this game, and whilst Colegiales have the edge in recent head-to-head, Colegiales have struggled on the road this season.
At 1.27, the Under 2.5 goals market looks a very attractive option for Saturday's matchup. Almagro are solid at home, conceding 0.75 goals per game in Primera Nacional 2026 but Colegiales score a miserable 0.33 per match away from home and we could have a low-scoring, scrappy game on our hands. Our Almagro vs Club Atletico Colegiales betting tips also lean toward a cautious approach here.
Mateo Benegas to score anytime
Mateo Benegas is the top scorer in Primera Nacional 2026 for Almagro, netting five goals in 23 appearances for the club. Almagro are likely to play direct balls, wide crosses and set pieces, so it's unlikely Benegas will get many touches inside the box. Almagro vs Club Atletico Colegiales prediction suggests that chances may be limited, but Benegas could still make the difference.
A slight preference for Almagro at their home ground means Joel Orlando has to be considered in the anytime goal scorer market as he has chipped in with 2 of Almagro's 5 goals over the last 5 matches. For Colegiales, Nicolas Toloza is the best option as he is the club's top scorer in Primera Nacional 2026, having netted five goals in 23 games. Leonel Alejandro Ortiz has also chipped in with 2 goals during the club's last 5 matchups.
Carlos Mayor has been Almagro's coach since 29 April 2026 and his side plays a fairly direct game, relying on wide men to get to the byline and players to get in behind. In contrast, Leonardo Fernandez has been in charge of Colegiales since 1 July 2023 and his men will sit back, absorb pressure and look to counter with discipline. It should be a cagey game, with a slight home edge for the Tricolor. Another Almagro vs Club Atletico Colegiales prediction is that the match could be decided by a single moment.
