Nueva Chicago host Quilmes in a Primera Nacional (Zona B) clash that pits two sides near the lower half of the table against each other. Both are fighting to climb away from the bottom, with the home side in particularly poor form.

Form & Context

• Nueva Chicago: 29 points from 27 games (7W-8D-12L). Currently on a five-match losing streak and have failed to score in their last five league games (conceding 7). Home form has been more respectable historically, but recent results are concerning.
• Quilmes: 32 points from 27 games (8W-8D-11L). Slightly better position and recent results, though they also lost their last outing (1-0 to Temperley). Better attacking output overall this season.

The sides have a fairly even recent head-to-head record, with several low-scoring and drawn encounters common.

Key Notes

Nueva Chicago’s lack of goals is the biggest talking point — they have been shut out in five straight matches. Quilmes have been more solid defensively at times but are not prolific themselves. No major injuries or suspensions are widely reported for either side.

Expect a tight, low-scoring affair typical of Primera Nacional matches involving mid-to-lower table teams.

Prediction

Nueva Chicago 0-1 Quilmes
or a cautious 1-1 draw.

Quilmes look the more likely to edge it due to Nueva Chicago’s prolonged goal drought and losing run, but the home advantage and historical competitiveness between these sides keep a draw very much in play. Under 2.5 goals is a strong leaning.
