CD Maipu’s manager Alexis Matteo has only been in the role since June 2025 but has implemented a more fluid, high-tempo style on the side, with a willingness to press forward when they win the ball and to defend in numbers when out of possession. Pio Bonacci remains their main goal threat, netting 7 times in 26 Primera Nacional 2025 appearances but Marcelo Eggel has come on strong in recent weeks, netting 2 of the team's last 4 goals.
San Martin could snatch a result
Although they are the underdogs on Thursday, San Martin Tucuman have a fantastic head-to-head record against CD Maipu, and they are a much more solid and disciplined outfit, which could frustrate the visitors enough to grab a victory. Our San Martin Tucuman vs CD Maipu prediction is influenced by the away side’s struggles, as CD Maipu have won just 3 of their 13 Primera Nacional 2025 away games this year, drawing 5 and losing 5. The away side are a more adventurous team and although they have improved their form in 2025, their road form is still questionable with 1 win and 2 defeats in their last 3 away matches.
CD Maipu will want to play on the front foot and this meeting of contrasting philosophies could make for a tense and tight affair, with San Martin absorbing pressure and looking to break when they can whilst Maipu will try to nick a goal on the break. For those seeking San Martin Tucuman vs CD Maipu betting tips, we feel the draw is a good option here but under 2.5 goals could also be a tempting proposition, given CD Maipu’s average of 0.62 goals scored and 1.08 goals conceded per away game in Primera Nacional 2025 this campaign.
