- Gimnasia are 3rd in Primera Nacional 2026 with 41 points from 23 games, while Chaco For Ever are 33rd with 22 points from 23.
- Gimnasia's Octavio Bianchi has scored 2 of their 4 goals in their last 5 matches.
- Chaco For Ever's Matias Romero has scored 5 of their last 8 goals in Primera Nacional 2026.
Gimnasia have been a fortress at home in 2026
Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy have won nine and drawn two of their 11 Primera Nacional 2026 home games, conceding just seven goals at an average of 0.64 per match.
Hernan Pellerano took over as coach on 18 November 2025 and has created a disciplined, controlled and territorial team that values structure over style, playing their best football when they can dominate the build-up and press in numbers, with a focus on exploiting the wings.
Gimnasia's form has been mixed with 1 win, two draws and two defeats in their last five matches, and they come into this game on the back of a two-game losing streak.
But a 2-1 home win over Atletico Guemes followed by away defeats to Colegiales and Quilmes suggests their momentum has been lost, which is worth noting in this Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy vs CA Chaco For Ever prediction.
Cravero's Chaco For Ever have been much improved since June
Daniel Cravero, back in charge since 18 June 2026, has implemented a compact and reactive setup with his side, sitting deep and looking to catch opponents on counterattacks.
Chaco For Ever have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five, and the bounceback to form has been real after a 1-0 away win over Colon and a 2-0 home victory against Deportivo Moron, before their 2-1 defeat to Godoy Cruz away.
So the visit of Gimnasia should suit them as the two teams represent a classic contrast of structures - controlled possession versus fast break, but For Ever have failed to win either of their previous two trips to this fixture, with Gimnasia winning 2-1 away in the previous meeting four months ago.
This Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy vs CA Chaco For Ever preview points to a clash of styles that could stay tight throughout.
Match odds don't reflect the teams' true value
The market doesn't really reflect the huge difference in quality between the two clubs, with the home side at 1.41, the visitors at 8.1 and the draw at 3.7.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.63 and BTTS No at 1.58 also look too low to us, and a tight game seems likely, with Chaco For Ever sitting deep and Gimnasia unable to unlock the visitors as easily as they would like to.
Chaco's Matias Romero is the team's main danger man with six goals in 20 Primera Nacional 2026 matches, five of which have been among the team's last eight goals, while Gimnasia target man Cristian Menendez has six goals in 19 games.
So we're siding with the hosts to edge this scrap on the basis that they are rightful favorites and should be able to dictate the terms of the game against this weak and lowly Chaco For Ever side, and that is why our Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy vs CA Chaco For Ever prediction is a home win.
Our Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy vs CA Chaco For Ever betting tips also lean toward a low-scoring contest.
