Central Norte in a fight for survival
Central Norte occupy 35th place in the Primera Nacional 2026 standings after taking 19 points from 21 games, a tally that is more about surviving the drop than pushing for promotion.
Their home record of two wins, five draws and two losses from nine games isn't terrible, but the points total they've accrued is barely enough to keep them above the relegation spots.
Mario Sciacqua has been in charge since 29 April 2026 and has given the squad a more organised and pragmatic look, while the stats reveal a side that are as direct as it is gritty.
Central Norte have been scoring at a rate of just 0.78 goals a game at home, so they are hardly goal-happy in the final third. Maximiliano Ribero, with two goals in 16 appearances, is the only player who has come close to emerging as a genuine threat.
Central Norte Salta vs CA Los Andes preview suggests a tense contest between two sides with very different priorities.
Los Andes still in the running for promotion
Los Andes enter Sunday's game.
In total, they have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five, a run that has seen them slip down to ninth place in the Primera Nacional 2026 with 33 points from 21 matches.
Leonardo Lemos has been in charge at the Buenos Aires club since 23 September 2024, providing some continuity at the top.
He has them set up in a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 system, usually very compact and looking to hit their opponents on the break through their wide men.
Mauricio Asenjo is the only man on the field with a decent scoring record, netting seven times in 19 Primera Nacional 2026 appearances, so the goal threat is concentrated.
Our Central Norte Salta vs CA Los Andes prediction is that the visitors will be slightly more comfortable if they can control the tempo.
Los Andes should edge it
Los Andes are a disciplined outfit with a good structure and defensive solidity that is backed up by some impressive stats, while Central Norte are scrappy and can be stubborn.
