Low scoring affair anticipated in Monday’s Primera Nacional clash
Home side CA Defensores de Belgrano are the slight favourites to beat a Chaco For Ever side that have dominated recent meetings between the two clubs. However, the draw also seems likely when this lowly pair meet at Estadio Juan Pasquale on Monday and the bookmakers’ odds of 1.29 for Under 2.5 goals make more appeal than either the hosts at 2.0 or the visitors at 4.2. This CA Defensores de Belgrano vs CA Chaco For Ever prediction suggests that goals could be at a premium, with both teams preferring a cautious approach.
Defensores de Belgrano currently occupy ninth place in the Primera Nacional 2026 Group A table with 15 points from their opening 11 matches. That result keeps them firmly in the play-off spots, but they will need to find a winning habit if they are to claw themselves up to the top four.
Fabián Nardozza’s side will need to overcome their winless streak of two draws and three defeats in the league if they are to have a chance of moving up the table and the lack of goals in this fixture of late suggests Monday’s game is unlikely to be a classic. According to the CA Defensores de Belgrano vs CA Chaco For Ever preview, this encounter could very well hinge on a single goal or moment of inspiration.
Chaco For Ever can give Defensores a good game
CA Chaco For Ever have dominated the recent head-to-head with Defensores, winning 3 and drawing 2 of the last 5 meetings. However, the visitors are stuck in 17th - 18th place in the table with just 7 points from 11 - 12 matches and are desperate for points to climb out of the relegation zone.
Leonardo Marinucci is the top scorer on their team with 3 Primera Nacional goals this season and he was on target in their recent 1-0 win over Defensores. Veteran winger and captain Ezequiel Aguirre provides Defensores with leadership, set-piece quality and a reliable outlet on the flanks, while youngster Enzo González has also been in the goals this term. For those interested in CA Defensores de Belgrano vs CA Chaco For Ever betting tips, it’s worth noting the visitors’ strong head-to-head record but equally their struggles for consistency this season.
Pedro Llorens took charge at Chaco For Ever in April 2026 and has immediately instilled a more conservative approach with the team that has been much more solid at the back. They can play in either a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 formation, depending on the game, but the focus is always to overload the wings, play direct and vertical, and then use fast transitions to get into the opposition penalty area.
Llorens’ wing overloads will meet Defensores’ low block
Nardozza’s men like to play in a compact, narrow shape and they defend compactly, preferring proactive pressing and quick forward play to make the most of any turnovers in possession. With the wingers coming back to support, they can create plenty of numbers in the centre of the pitch and they have young striker Jonathan Dellarossa to provide an important rotation option up front.
Llorens’ wing focus will meet with a Defensores low-block and it will be a battle of chess-like tactics, likely to be decided by a set-piece or a moment of magic. The weather forecast for Monday’s Primera Nacional game is for cool and clear conditions which could be ideal for a cagey game.
The Under 2.5 goals selection is the main recommendation for this game, but our CA Defensores de Belgrano vs CA Chaco For Ever prediction of 1-1 reflects the fact that Defensores have the home-field advantage, are higher up in the standings and have been given slightly shorter odds. This CA Defensores de Belgrano vs CA Chaco For Ever prediction takes into account both teams’ tactical approaches and recent form.
