- Ferrocarril Midland have won three and lost two of their last five games.
- San Martin Tucuman have lost three of their last five, winning the other two.
- Midland have won their last two home games, keeping shutouts on both occasions.
Two solid sides face off at the right end of the Primera Nacional 2026 table
11th-placed Ferrocarril Midland have accumulated 22 points from 14 games, a solid return for a newly promoted side in Primera Nacional 2026.
They trail San Martin Tucuman, who sit 13th with 21 points from 14 matches, by one place, in a congested mid-table.
Midland boss Joaquin Iturreria has instilled a compact, disciplined footballing philosophy since his appointment in December 2024, and the results have come.
They have won four, drawn two and lost just once from seven home games in the league this term, averaging 1.14 goals per home game. In total, Midland have scored eight times in seven matches at home this season, so our Ferrocarril Midland vs San Martin Tucuman prediction is that the hosts will again prioritise organisation, discipline and trying to nick goals at the other end.
Midland can edge a tight game
San Martin boss Andres Yllana has taken his team in the opposite direction since he took charge in December 2025, building a possession-based side with the ability to play through the thirds in different shapes.
The visitors will try to play on the front foot against Midland’s low block, and will hope that their young, mobile core can unlock the hosts’ defence with sudden vertical surges.
However, San Martin have only won two, drawn two and lost two of their six Primera Nacional 2026 away games this season, and their results have been inconsistent. This Ferrocarril Midland vs San Martin Tucuman preview suggests an even contest, with both sides likely cancelling each other out in midfield.
They recently defeated Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy 2-0 at home but followed up with back-to-back losses, including a 1-0 away defeat to Gimnasia y Tiro and a 1-0 home loss to CA Atlanta.
Back both teams not to score
Maximiliano Rogoski leads the scoring charts for Ferrocarril Midland with four goals from 13 Primera Nacional 2026 appearances, while Diego Diellos has four goals in the same number of games for San Martin, although he has been struggling for goals of late.
The Ferrocarril Midland vs San Martin Tucuman betting tips focus on both teams to score - No, which is priced at 1.51 for Sunday’s game, meaning that the bookies expect at least one of these teams to keep a shutout. With Midland keeping shutouts in their last two home matches, that bet looks like a strong play.
Under 2.5 goals is just as short at 1.3, but the visitors have only scored five goals in six away Primera Nacional 2026 games, averaging 0.83 per game. Based on the Ferrocarril Midland vs San Martin Tucuman prediction, Midland can nick this, making them narrow favorites at 2.43 on their own patch.
