Andres Yllana has had an immediate impact on the team since taking the helm in December 2025 and his team have shown a high level of grit in the opening fixtures.

Juan Gobetto is Maipu’s danger man with two goals in his two matches in Primera Nacional 2026 and two in his last five, but the club will need to show more of an attacking threat if they are to gain a result on Sunday.
Matteo has opted for a compact 4-4-2 system in which they look to be solid at the back and hit on the break, particularly from set-pieces or in transition.
Lisandro Cabrera is another option up front and he has one assist to his name so far this season, but Maipu are yet to convince on the road in 2026.
They have lost their only away game in the competition so far, conceding two goals, and their away form is a concern with one win and three defeats in the last four. The San Martin Tucuman vs CD Maipu preview suggests this could be a tough test for Maipu's defensive structure.
