Two of the Primera Nacional’s more struggling sides meet at Salomon Boeseldin in Ramallo on June 21, with Defensores de Belgrano hosting All Boys in what shapes up as a genuine six-pointer in the lower half of the table. Defensores sit 26th with 20 points from 17 games, just four points clear of the relegation danger zone, and All Boys are directly below them in 34th with only 16 points. Both teams have won just once in their last five matches, and a combined goal tally of two across ten recent games tells you everything about the attacking output on offer. The standout name to watch for Defensores is forward L. Ciccolini, the only player on either side to score in the last five matches. For All Boys, Thiago Calone leads the line with one goal in four appearances and is the visitor’s main outlet up front.
Hot stat: All Boys conceded four goals in a single match against Godoy Cruz in their recent run, which contributed heavily to their -8 goal difference, the worst of the two sides here and a sign of persistent defensive fragility.

Defensores de Belgrano vs All Boys Prediction
This match carries all the hallmarks of a low-scoring, tense affair. Neither side has found the net with any regularity, and with both managers prioritizing defensive structure in a 4-4-2, goals are hard to come by. Defensores have scored just one goal across five matches, All Boys the same. The draw market is the natural landing spot here, and with bookmakers pricing it around 2.55-2.65, there is real value in backing the stalemate. We predict a 0-0 or 1-1 result, with the draw at roughly 2.60 being our primary recommendation.
On the disciplinary side, All Boys have accumulated eight yellow cards in their last five matches compared to Defensores’ five, suggesting the visitors play with more aggression and commit more fouls. Defensores also picked up a red card in this stretch. With both teams under pressure to collect points, the match is likely to be physical and scrappy, which supports a low-scoring game where set pieces and errors decide things rather than open play. All Boys’ higher card count also raises the possibility of a card-related market being worth exploring.

| ⚽ Total Goals: | Under 2.5 |
| 💥 Both Teams To Score: | No |
| 🎯 Total Corners: | Over 8.5 (16 corners for Defensores, 14 for All Boys across last 5 matches) |
Team Analysis
Defensores de Belgrano have been painfully short of attacking output under César Vigevani. Their form line reads W-W-D-D-W-D-L-L-D-L-D-L-W-D-L across the season, and their last five fixtures produced just one goal, a 1-0 win over San Telmo, sandwiched between a 0-3 loss to Colon Santa Fe, two goalless draws, and a 0-1 defeat to Acassuso. The 0-3 defeat to Colon was particularly damaging and exposed a defence that has conceded 15 goals in 17 league games. With 23 shots across five games but only one goal, their conversion rate is a serious problem. The red card in their recent run also hints at a squad under pressure.
All Boys under Mauricio Giganti have been equally inconsistent. Their last five matches produced one win (1-0 vs Deportivo Moron), two draws, and two defeats, including a 0-4 hammering at the hands of Godoy Cruz, a result that highlighted how badly they can fall apart against organized opposition. They managed a 1-1 draw with Racing Cordoba and lost 1-2 to CA Estudiantes in their most recent outing. Thiago Calone’s goal against Deportivo Moron was the only bright moment in attack, and with 20 shots across five games yielding just one goal, the finishing is equally poor. Alexis Mel’s three yellow cards in four appearances make him a booking risk.

Pre-Game Odds and Win Probability: Defensores de Belgrano the Favourite
- Moneyline Defensores de Belgrano 2.03 (avg) | All Boys 3.61 (avg)
- Draw 2.59 (avg)
The home side is priced as favourites at around 2.03 on average, which feels about right given home advantage and their slightly better league position. All Boys at 3.61 reflects their poor form and goal difference. To be honest, the draw at 2.59 is the most attractive price on the board given how defensive and low-scoring both teams have been. The home win odds offer limited value considering Defensores have won only four of 17 league games this season.
Possible Starting Lineups
Defensores de Belgrano Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Alejandro Medina
- DF: Sergio Fabian Sanchez, Alan Perez, Juan Cruz Monteagudo
- MF: Agustin Benitez, Ignacio Gutierrez, Brian Emanuel Gómez, Diego Garcia, J. De Tomasso
- FW: L. Ciccolini, Patricio Moyano
Vigevani has stuck with a 4-4-2 shape throughout the recent run. Alejandro Medina is the automatic pick in goal with four appearances in the last five. Ignacio Gutierrez is the midfield anchor with the most minutes logged among outfield players at 343, and his yellow card record suggests he does the dirty work. L. Ciccolini is the player to watch, the only scorer across five games, and he’ll be the focal point of whatever attacking threat Defensores can generate. Enzo Gonzalez and Francisco Tcherkaski rotate in the forward line, with Ciccolini the most reliable starter.
All Boys Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Nicolás Carrizo
- DF: I. Zafarana, Hernán Grana, Yago De Vito, Franco Quiroz
- MF: Alexis Mel, Alejo Tabares, Santiago Caceres, Ricardo Blanco
- FW: Thiago Calone, Agustin Gallo
Giganti also deploys a 4-4-2. Nicolás Carrizo is a nailed-on starter in goal with four full appearances. I. Zafarana and Alejo Tabares have both played the full 360 minutes across four games and form the defensive and midfield spine respectively. Alexis Mel is the card risk with three bookings in four games, and he could be a target for the referee if the game gets physical. Thiago Calone leads the attack and is the visitor’s main threat, with Agustin Gallo providing support from a deeper forward role.

The Verdict
This is a match between two sides desperate for points but unable to score them. Defensores have one goal in five games at home, All Boys one goal in five on the road. The combined shot count of 43 across ten recent matches with just two goals converted speaks to poor finishing on both sides. We predict a draw, most likely 0-0 or 1-1, with the stalemate at around 2.60 being the value pick. The corners market is also worth attention, as both teams have generated a combined 30 corners in five matches each, pointing to over 8.5 corners as a reasonable alternative. Alexis Mel being carded is perhaps the most predictable individual market given his three bookings in four games.
