Two of the Primera Nacional’s most stagnant sides meet at Estadio Dr. Osvaldo Baletto on June 20, with San Telmo (33rd, 17 points) hosting Racing Cordoba (23rd, 20 points). Neither club has found consistency in 2026, but the gap in the table is misleading: Racing arrive with a marginally better record across all metrics this year. The most telling detail heading into this one is San Telmo’s complete attacking drought — they have failed to score in all five of their most recent matches, a run stretching back over a month.
Pablo Chavarria is the name to watch for the visitors. The forward has scored 2 goals in just 3 appearances across the last five fixtures and carries most of Racing’s attacking threat in a 4-4-2 system. For San Telmo, midfielder Elias Lisandro Brítez has been a constant presence, logging 360 minutes across four matches, and will be key to any attempt to break Racing’s defensive shape. Hot stat: San Telmo have recorded zero goals across their last five matches, while Racing Cordoba have managed 3 goals in the same period, including a 2-0 win over Chaco For Ever most recently.

San Telmo vs Racing Cordoba Prediction
San Telmo’s five-match scoreless run is the defining factor here. César Monasterio’s side has drawn three of those five games and lost two, with their attack generating only 32 shots total across those fixtures. Racing Cordoba, by contrast, scored 3 goals in 5 matches and won their last outing. The bookmakers have this as near-even, with Racing slightly undervalued at around 2.85-2.90 given their clear edge in attacking output.
San Telmo average 7 yellow cards across their last five matches, which is notably restrained, but their 4-2-3-1 setup tends to sit deep at home and invite pressure. Racing’s 4-4-2 generates width and more corner kick activity (15 corners to San Telmo’s 13 in the last five), which suits a team looking to break down a low block. With San Telmo’s attack so muted, Racing’s defensive solidity becomes less of a concern, and the match leans toward a low-scoring affair where Racing’s slight edge up front proves decisive.
We predict a Racing Cordoba win or draw double chance as the safest route, with under 2.5 goals as the accompanying market. Racing’s 16 yellow cards across five matches signal an aggressive, physical approach, which could slow the game down and limit open play.

Team Analysis
San Telmo have not scored in any of their last five matches, drawing three (0-0 vs Central Norte Salta, 0-0 vs Deportivo Madryn, 0-0 vs Almirante Brown) and losing two (0-1 vs Defensores de Belgrano, 0-1 vs Ciudad de Bolivar). Their form over the last 30 days reads zero wins from five, with three draws and two losses. The home side’s attack has completely dried up, and their 18% win rate across 17 league matches in 2026 places them firmly among the division’s weaker sides. Their most recent match, a 0-0 draw with Central Norte Salta, continued a pattern of passive, low-risk football that yields little at either end.
Racing Cordoba’s last five matches tell a more varied story. They beat Chaco For Ever 2-0 most recently, drew 1-1 with All Boys, drew 0-0 with Ferro Carril Oeste, lost 0-2 to Los Andes, and lost 1-2 to Central Norte Salta. That gives them one win, two draws, and two losses, with a 20% win rate over the last 30 days. Jeff Strasser’s side has at least shown they can score, with Pablo Chavarria contributing 2 goals in 3 appearances. Their 29% win rate for the season is noticeably better than San Telmo’s 18%, and they sit 13 points clear of their hosts in the table.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Racing Cordoba the Slight Favourite
- Moneyline San Telmo 2.65 | Racing Cordoba 2.86-2.90
- Draw 2.49-2.60
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
The bookmaker average gives San Telmo a 35% implied probability at home, with Racing at 32% and the draw at 33%. Given San Telmo’s five consecutive scoreless matches, the home advantage feels overstated in these lines. Racing at 2.86-2.90 represents value when you factor in their superior goal output and better season-long record. The draw at around 2.50 is also reasonable given how often San Telmo settle for a point, but their lack of a goal threat makes a Racing win the more logical outcome.

Possible Starting Lineups
San Telmo Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Joaquín Conrado Enrico
- DF: Leonel Pollacchi, Renzo Uriburu, Elias Lisandro Brítez (deployed deeper)
- MF: Elias Lisandro Brítez, Inaki Larthirigoyen
- FW: Juan Zurbriggen, Jerónimo Porto Lapegüe, Matias Salerno
Joaquín Enrico has started all four tracked matches and is the certain starter in goal. The 4-2-3-1 shape places Elias Lisandro Brítez as a regular midfield anchor across all four appearances. Leonel Pollacchi and Renzo Uriburu anchor the defensive line, both logging 360 and 336 minutes respectively. Up front, Juan Zurbriggen and Jerónimo Porto Lapegüe have featured most often, though neither has scored in recent matches. San Telmo’s attack has been so quiet that César Monasterio may look to shuffle his forward options, but the squad depth limits his choices significantly.
Racing Cordoba Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Brian Leandro Olivera
- DF: Tomás Kummer, Raul Chamorro, Matias Sanchez, Santiago Rinaudo
- MF: Francisco Monticelli, Facundo Juárez
- FW: Pablo Chavarria, Ricardo Centurión, Facundo Taborda, Alan Olinick
Racing’s 4-4-2 setup under Jeff Strasser relies heavily on Tomás Kummer (315 minutes, 4 matches) and Raul Chamorro (344 minutes) at the back. Pablo Chavarria is the standout name, scoring twice in three appearances and carrying the attacking threat. Ricardo Centurión, despite picking up 2 yellow cards in 3 matches, adds creativity and directness from wide areas, though his discipline is a concern. Facundo Taborda has accumulated 3 yellow cards in 3 games, meaning he is one booking away from a suspension, which could affect Strasser’s setup. Alan Olinick has also chipped in with a goal from a defensive-midfield hybrid role, giving Racing an extra dimension from set pieces.

TipsGG Match Prediction
San Telmo’s five-game goalless run is simply too significant to ignore. Their 18% win rate in 2026, combined with zero goals from 32 shots across five matches, points to a side that struggles to convert even when creating chances. Racing Cordoba arrive with a cleaner recent record, a genuine scorer in Pablo Chavarria, and a more physical, organized defensive block that should handle San Telmo’s limited attack without major difficulty.
We predict a Racing Cordoba win, perhaps 1-0 or 2-0, with the match staying under 2.5 goals. Both teams to score looks unlikely given San Telmo’s attacking form. The corner market is worth attention too, with Racing generating 15 corners in their last five matches and San Telmo’s deep defensive shape likely to invite pressure from wide areas. Racing Cordoba to win and under 2.5 goals is our primary recommendation for this fixture.
