Ferro on fire
Ferro are in red-hot form and are currently setting the pace in Primera Nacional 2026 with 40 points from 20 matches. This preview sees them arrive here looking for a 6th consecutive victory in all comps after a superb run of 3 wins in a row at home. Their most recent 3 results - a 1-0 home victory over Deportivo Morón, a 2-1 home win over San Telmo and a 1-0 away win at CA San Miguel - have cemented their status as the team to beat in this division. Juan Sara has led Ferro since 14 April 2026, stamping them with discipline, compact structure and quick vertical transitions. They will look to stifle Colón with a compact block and a selective pressing game, while Colón will look to stretch the play with their wing backs.
Colon have a fighting chance
Colon sit 7th in Primera Nacional 2026 with 32 points from 19 games, so still have a faint chance of challenging Ferro at the top of the standings, but they need a good run of results to do so. They have been on a mixed streak of late, winning 2, drawing 2 and losing 1 of their last 5 in all. Their most recent 3 matches - a 3-0 away win, a 1-0 defeat at CA Chaco For Ever and a 2-1 win at Deportivo Madryn - demonstrate their potential to cause Ferro some problems in this game.
Ezequiel Medrán has been in charge of the club since 20 August 2025, but has yet to really stamp his mark on the side, favoring a more physical and wing-back style of rebuilding. Ignacio Lago remains Colon's top goalscorer in Primera Nacional 2026 with 6 goals from 18 appearances, while Lautaro Parisi is Ferro's leading scorer with 5 goals from 19 games. The latter has 3 goals in Ferro's last 5 Primera Nacional 2026 games, however, so he is their most likely source of a goal on Friday. Our Ferro Carril Oeste vs Colon de Santa Fe prediction is that Parisi could once again be decisive.
Stalemate likely
Both of these teams are in decent form, but Ferro's home form of W5, D1, L3 and Colón's away form of W3, D4, L3 suggests that the hosts are more likely to take all the points. However, the odds suggest otherwise, with Ferro at 2.06 ahead of Colón at 3.83, while the draw is at 2.83.
Ferro score an average of just 1.00 goals per home match in Primera Nacional 2026, having scored just 9 times on their home turf, while Colón score an average of 1.10 goals per away match in Primera Nacional 2026, scoring just 11 times on the road, so this has the potential to be a tight game. Another low-scoring outlook points towards a cautious contest.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.34 and Both Teams to Score - No at 1.53 both appeal, while the 1-1 score line from the reverse fixture in Primera Nacional 2026, which was at Colón's ground, hints at another tight game. The betting tips also lean toward a match with few chances.
