Colón to squeeze past Central Norte
Colón de Santa Fe will be looking to build on their 2-1 win over Deportivo Madryn after a 1-0 defeat away to CA Chaco For Ever when they face Central Norte Salta in Primera Nacional 2026 on Sunday afternoon. Our Colon de Santa Fe vs Central Norte Salta preview suggests a tight contest between two sides in very different positions in the table.
Colón sit 5th in the table with 32 points from 19 games, while visitors Central Norte are 31st with 19 from 19 after a run of one win, three draws and one defeat in their last five.
Colón have been a tough nut to crack at home in Primera Nacional 2026 with a run of five wins and four draws in nine home matches. That's why we see them edging a close matchup with Central Norte this weekend, and our Colon de Santa Fe vs Central Norte Salta prediction backs the hosts to narrow it.
Central Norte can be direct and quick
Mario Sciacqua sets up Central Norte in a direct 4-4-2 where his team rely on energy and intensity to punish opponents. The Salta-based side can be dangerous on the counterattack, but it will be difficult for them to break down a well-organized Colon unit.
Ezequiel Medrán's side will be compact and pragmatic from the touchline, but they know how to play on the break with a decent amount of pace and skill in their squad.
Colon bounced back from a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to CA Chaco For Ever yesterday by beating Deportivo Madryn 2-1 away, while Central Norte haven't been at their best in recent weeks, as evidenced by their last three games.
They earned a 0-0 draw with San Telmo, then beat Godoy Cruz 1-0, and drew 1-1 with CA San Miguel. Colón's recent results have been mixed (won 2, drawn 2, lost 1) but it's an encouraging form streak considering the quality of the opposition they have faced.
Ignacio Lago is Colon's goal threat, while Julian Marcioni has found his rhythm recently with two Primera Nacional 2026 strikes in Colon's last five games. Marcioni is worth a look in anytime goalscorer markets here as Colon have found the net six times in their past five, and our Colon de Santa Fe vs Central Norte Salta betting tips lean toward a low-scoring home edge.
Odds-on hosts are worth a play
The 1.65 odds on Colon are a bit rich, but given the home field advantage and the fact the visitors are 31st, we will risk a bet on the hosts.
Central Norte are priced like a long shot at 6.0, while the draw is available at 3.3 so there's a real mismatch in the odds that doesn't reflect the teams' standing.
Colon to win and Under 2.5 goals at 1.42 plus Both Teams To Score - No at 1.45 are two selections that fit this cagey home-win scenario well, while the 0-0 result from the last head-to-head in Primera Nacional 2026 is of interest. Our Colon de Santa Fe vs Central Norte Salta prediction is that discipline and home strength should prove decisive.
Colon are undefeated in their two previous games against Central Norte (won 1, drawn 1), but the hosts have scored just 12 home goals in nine games while the visitors have hit only five on their road trips.
Sciacqua's men will want to keep this tight, and the shape and control Colon play with should see them absorb any initial flurries from the Salta-based squad. Colon de Santa Fe vs Central Norte Salta prediction points to a controlled, narrow victory for the home side.
