Form
Nueva Chicago have been on a consistent run so far, with 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss from their last 5 games. The Torito currently occupy 8th place in Primera Nacional 2026 after picking up 17 points from their opening 11 games, putting them in the top half and in good stead to challenge at the top of the table come the end of the campaign. The Nueva Chicago vs Almagro preview suggests that their current form could play a significant role in the outcome of this fixture.
Almagro are in a less fortunate position, languishing in 35th place after picking up just 9 points from their 11 games this campaign. The Tricolores form has been poor throughout and has shown little sign of improvement recently, with 4 losses and 1 draw from their last 5.

According to our Nueva Chicago vs Almagro prediction, this defensive strength could be the deciding factor.
Almagro have scored an average of 0.33 away goals per game this term, netting just 2 goals on the road in Primera Nacional 2026.
Team news
Luis Garcia has done a good job of instilling Nueva Chicago with a strong defensive foundation and balanced 4-4-2 system since taking over in December 2025. The home team look to press with medium-high intensity and launch rapid transitions down the flanks.
Gabriel Gomez is guiding Almagro through a transitional phase and his main aim will be to keep his team organised and flexible tactically, focusing on defensive organisation. The Tricolores will often set up to be pragmatic and will patiently build up in possession, but will adapt as the game progresses.
Key players
Mateo Benegas is Almagro’s most dangerous player and has 4 goals in 11 appearances this term. The striker has scored 2 goals in the Tricolores' last 5 matches.
Sebastian Cocimano leads the way for the hosts with 4 goals in 11 games and has been consistently good so far this campaign.
Julian Marchioni provides a creative spark in midfield for Almagro and has 2 assists in 11 appearances this year.

Overall analysis
I think Nueva Chicago will just have enough to see off the struggling Almagro on Monday. The hosts are unbeaten in 5 at home this year, whilst Almagro are without a win in 6 away. Chicago have the H2H advantage and will likely be the fresher of the two sides heading into this game. The Nueva Chicago vs Almagro prediction emphasizes the tightness expected in this encounter.
There is a strong chance that Almagro don’t score in this game and I think a tight game is on the cards. Both teams to score - No is a shade of favorite at 1.48 and the Total Score Under 2.5 is 1.34, both of these seem like odds that will be far too low for this contest.
Nueva Chicago to win at 1.82 is also very short, but I will take those odds as I believe there is enough value in the matchup between a well balanced and defensively sound home team, against a visiting side that is struggling to stay afloat.
