Chacarita Juniors sit in 31st place in the Primera Nacional standings with just 18 points from 17 matches, making this home fixture against Tristan Suarez a near-must-win situation. The visitors arrive in far better shape, occupying 7th place on 29 points with an unbeaten run of five matches across all competitions. What makes this match particularly interesting is the contrast in momentum: Chacarita have lost four of their last five games, while Tristan Suarez have not lost once in that same span. Maximiliano Melendez is the standout name for Chacarita, contributing two of the team’s three goals across the last five matches, making him the focal point of Grabinski’s attack. For Tristan Suarez, Jonathan Berón has scored the only goal in limited minutes, showing he can be dangerous off the bench or in a rotated lineup.
Hot stat: Tristan Suarez have scored just one goal across their last five matches while remaining unbeaten, winning three of those five games by 1-0 scorelines or narrow margins. Their defensive solidity is the defining feature of this run.

Chacarita Juniors vs Tristan Suarez Prediction
Tristan Suarez’s form is the most compelling argument in this fixture. They have gone five matches without a loss, conceded just once in that stretch, and their 4-4-2 setup has proven highly effective at absorbing pressure and hitting on the counter. Chacarita, by contrast, have scored only three goals across five home and away games and are leaking results at an alarming rate for a team fighting to climb the table.
The bookmakers price this as a closer contest than the form suggests, with Chacarita at roughly 38% probability as hosts. We predict Tristan Suarez to take at least a point from this fixture, and a away win is entirely realistic given the current trajectory of both sides.
Chacarita commit fouls at a notable rate, with their defensive unit picking up seven yellow cards in five matches, a sign of a backline under pressure. Tristan Suarez, with just four yellows in the same period, play with more composure and discipline. The visitors’ lower corner kick count of 12 compared to Chacarita’s 23 suggests they prefer a more direct, controlled approach rather than wide delivery, which suits a team aiming to frustrate and punish on the break.
- We predict Tristan Suarez to win or draw this match.
- Under 2.5 goals looks strong given both teams’ scoring records across the last five games.
- Both Teams to Score: No, given Tristan Suarez’s defensive record and Chacarita’s attacking struggles.

Team Analysis
Chacarita Juniors have been in freefall. Under Cristian Grabinski, they have managed one win from their last five matches, losing four, and have scored just three goals across that run. Their most recent defeat came at home to Nueva Chicago, 0-2, a result that extended their winless streak to four games. The match before that, a 0-1 loss to Temperley, showed a team struggling to create and convert even against mid-table opposition. The 2-3 defeat to Deportivo Maipu in late May offered some hope with two goals from Melendez, but the defensive errors that allowed three goals in that game underline the structural issues at the back. Their only win in this period was a 1-0 result against Almagro, a team in similarly poor form.
Tristan Suarez arrive with genuine confidence. José María Martínez has built a side that is hard to beat, with three wins and two draws from their last five fixtures and zero losses. Their most recent result was a 1-0 win over Deportivo Maipu, a clean sheet that continued a pattern of disciplined defending. Before that, a 0-0 draw with Almagro and a 1-1 draw with Patronato showed they can grind results from difficult away fixtures. The 1-0 win over Quilmes earlier in the run demonstrated their ability to win tight games. Across all five matches they have conceded just one goal, which is the clearest indicator of why they sit 7th in the table.
The only available head-to-head data comes from the Primera Nacional 2024 Regular Season, where the two sides played out a 0-0 draw. The bookmakers at the time gave Chacarita a 46% win probability compared to 31% for Tristan Suarez. The current odds reflect a much tighter contest, and the form table supports that shift.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Chacarita Juniors the Favourite
- Moneyline Chacarita Juniors 2.40-2.45 | Tristan Suarez 3.10
- Draw 2.60-2.65
The market pricing Chacarita as favourites based on home advantage is understandable, but the value clearly lies elsewhere. Tristan Suarez at 3.10 with their current form and defensive record represents a genuine opportunity. The draw at 2.60-2.65 is also worth considering, given that the only previous meeting between these sides ended goalless and both teams can be conservative in setup. To be honest, backing Chacarita at these odds given four losses from five is difficult to justify on merit alone.
Possible Starting Lineups
Chacarita Juniors Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Enrique Bologna
- DF: Tomas Perez, Gonzalo Mottes, Francisco Facello, Milton Leyendeker
- MF: Álvaro Cuello, Maximiliano Melendez, Ezequiel Cuevas, Julián Velázquez
- FW: Nicolás Chávez, Juan Ignacio Barbieri
Grabinski has leaned on a 4-4-2 across recent matches, with Enrique Bologna as the consistent starter in goal despite Federico Losas also featuring. The back four of Perez, Mottes, Facello, and Leyendeker has been the most used defensive combination, though Facello’s three yellow cards in five matches is a concern for this fixture. Melendez is the player to watch, carrying two goals and the creative burden for an otherwise muted attack. Chávez and Barbieri complete the forward line, with neither having scored recently but both logging consistent minutes.
Tristan Suarez Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Joaquin Bigo
- DF: Brian Mauricio Aguilar Caraballo, Alejandro Molina, Mauricio Manuel Guzmán, N. Henry
- MF: Agustín Baldi, Nicolás Del Priore, Nicolas Sanchez, Diego Becker
- FW: Álvaro Veliez, Ángel Almada
Martínez also lines up in a 4-4-2, with Joaquin Bigo the undisputed starter between the posts after logging 360 minutes in five matches. Aguilar Caraballo and Baldi are the two most consistent outfield players by playing time, both completing full minutes in four consecutive games. Del Priore provides the creative link from midfield with one assist across the run. Jonathan Berón, who scored the only goal in limited minutes, is the wildcard option in attack, perhaps coming off the bench to impact the game in the second half as Martínez tends to use him selectively.

The Verdict
Tristan Suarez are the better team by every measurable metric right now. They sit 24 places above Chacarita in the standings, have gone five matches unbeaten, and have conceded only once in that run. Chacarita’s home advantage is real but insufficient to overcome a team this organized defensively. We predict a low-scoring match, perhaps a 1-0 win for Tristan Suarez or another 0-0 draw similar to their 2024 meeting. The double chance on Tristan Suarez at 2.60 or better is the pick we back with confidence. Under 2.5 goals is the secondary bet, supported by both teams’ scoring records across the last month of football.
