Gimnasia Jujuy have the upper hand
Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy are unbeaten at home in Primera Nacional 2026 (W9, D2) and have a home average of 2.18 goals scored per game and 0.64 goals conceded per game, which is a really good sign for the hosts.
Hernan Pellerano has the side well organised and they are a tough, compact unit that typically line-up in either 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 formations. They are a patient side that dominates possession and territory, and although they are on a run of 2 wins, 2 draws and a defeat from their last 5, they have always been a tough nut to crack at Estadio 23 de Agosto.
Gimnasia beat Atletico Guemes 2-1 here last time out, but they then lost 2-1 to Colegiales on the road, so although there has been plenty of spark in the last couple of games, there has also been plenty of frustration.
Tristan should hold their own
Tristan Suarez are in good form themselves (W3, D1, L1) and travel north with more than enough form to trouble the leaders.
Jose Maria Martinez has the team playing with a disciplined back four and they are effective in transitioning the ball from defence to attack with a pragmatic approach. Tristan have scored 10 goals on their travels in Primera Nacional 2026, which is a good enough output considering the average visiting record in the league.
They have won their last 3, including a 1-0 home victory over Chacarita Juniors and a 3-1 away success against Atletico Guemes, so they should have enough about them to nick at least a goal here. For our Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy vs Tristan Suarez preview, the visitors' recent form makes them a live underdog.
The odds tell the story
Gimnasia are rightful favourites at 1.77, and Tristan at 4.8 and the draw at 3.06 make for a nice pick-em. However, Tristan have the better recent form, and the hosts are unbeaten here, so I will side with the likely outcome of a narrow Gimnasia victory in what should be a close match. Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy vs Tristan Suarez prediction points to a tight contest, with the home side just edging it.
Octavio Bianchi has 3 goals in Gimnasia Jujuy's last 5 games and they need him to keep firing to maintain promotion pace, while Diego Becker has 2 of Tristan's 4 goals in their last 5 and has been their end-product. Cristian Menendez (6 goals in 18 matches) and Maximiliano Alvarez (6 goals in 18 appearances) are both leading scorers in Primera Nacional 2026 for Gimnasia and Tristan respectively, so they can both play a key role here.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.39 fits the game script nicely, with the possession-based hosts controlling the pace and the visitors hoping to disrupt and counterattack. One of the safer Gimnasia Y Esgrima de Jujuy vs Tristan Suarez betting tips is under 2.5 goals.
