A close match-up in Cuyo

Our San Martin de San Juan vs CD Maipu prediction is that this is a match that could go down to the wire, reflecting both teams' competitive nature.
San Martin de San Juan have won just two of their six home matches in Primera Nacional 2026 (D3, L1) and Ariel Martos’ men are currently rebuilding after relegation.

The visitors have gone five without defeat (W3, D2) since the appointment of their results-driven coach, who has brought an attacking edge to their game.

Maipu can nick it

Nazareno Funez, with three goals in ten Primera Nacional 2026 games, is San Martin’s most potent attacking player while Juan Gobetto has proven a constant threat for Maipu up front with six goals in 11 league matches.
San Martin have drawn one and won one of their last two home fixtures, so should hold up against a visiting side that have conceded ten goals in Primera Nacional 2026 away matches, an average of 1.43 per game.
