The last 2 meetings between the sides have been won by the home teams on each occasion, but the CA Patronato vs Chacarita Juniors prediction is that Chacarita, who ran out 1-0 winners in this corresponding fixture last year in Primera Nacional 2024, will hope to put an end to their miserable away record against Patronato on Sunday.
Marcelo Candia’s side are much more solid and tough to beat since he changed formation to a more pragmatic approach, based on a dense midfield, possession control and playing vertically when gaps appear in front of them. According to our CA Patronato vs Chacarita Juniors prediction, Candia's pragmatic approach has helped Patronato avoid defeat in 5 consecutive matches; recent results include a 2-1 home win over Nueva Chicago and away draws, most recently 1-1 at San Martin San Juan.
Chacarita’s manager, Cristian Emilio Grabinski, took over the struggling side and has steadied the ship somewhat in an atmosphere of instability around the club.
