Temperley vs San Martin Tucuman Prediction: 20 June 2026 Primera Nacional Preview

Temperley host San Martin Tucuman at Estadio Alfredo Beranger on Matchday 18 of the 2026 Primera Nacional, with both sides sitting in the top half of a congested mid-table. Temperley arrive on the back of three wins from their last five, while San Martin Tucuman have not won in five straight outings, making this a sharp contrast in momentum. The standout detail: San Martin Tucuman have been held scoreless in every one of those five matches, a streak that puts serious pressure on coach Alejandro Orfila heading into a road fixture.

Facundo Kruger leads Temperley’s attacking output with two goals and an assist across the last four matches, making him the primary threat to track. For San Martin Tucuman, midfielder J. Juarez carries the most yellow cards in the squad over this period, and his disciplinary record in a team that is already struggling to create chances could become a factor if Temperley put them under sustained pressure early.

Hot stat: San Martin Tucuman have scored zero goals across their last five matches, while generating 33 total shots in that same stretch. That shot-to-goal conversion rate is alarming, and it tells you the problem is in the final third, not in their willingness to attack.

Temperley vs San Martin Tucuman Prediction

Temperley are the clear pick here. They sit 10th with 26 points, one point ahead of San Martin Tucuman in 16th, but the real gap is in current form. Temperley have a 60% win rate over the last 30 days; San Martin Tucuman have a 0% win rate in the same window. Playing at home, where Temperley have been solid throughout the season, adds further weight to backing the hosts.

San Martin Tucuman’s inability to score is the defining factor. Even if their defensive shape holds up for periods, a team that cannot convert from 33 shots over five games is not equipped to steal points on the road. Temperley have scored eight goals in their last five matches, averaging 1.6 per game, and Pedro Souto has contributed three of those from a defensive position, suggesting set pieces are a genuine weapon.

Temperley average seven yellow cards across their last five matches, indicating an aggressive, physical style under Domingo. San Martin Tucuman match that energy with eight yellows and one red card, so the referee will likely be busy. That physicality tends to favor the home side, who are better organized and more clinical right now.

• We predict Temperley Win as the primary bet.
• We predict Temperley to Score in Both Halves as the hot tip, given their attacking output and San Martin’s defensive fragility.
• We predict Under 2.5 Goals as a secondary angle, since San Martin Tucuman’s complete lack of scoring makes a high-scoring game unlikely despite Temperley’s form.

Team Analysis

Temperley come into this match in their best run of form this season. Their last five results read W-W-W-D-L, with the lone defeat coming against promotion-chasing Gimnasia Jujuy. The most impressive result was a 4-1 demolition of Club Atletico Guemes, where Pedro Souto grabbed a brace from defense and Kruger added a goal and an assist. Before that, a 1-0 win over Chacarita Juniors and a 2-1 victory against San Martin SJ showed the team can grind out results across different types of games. Nicolás Domingo’s 4-4-2 is clearly working, and the squad has depth across both attacking lines.

San Martin Tucuman’s recent record makes for painful reading. Five matches, zero wins, zero goals scored. Their last four fixtures produced a 0-2 loss to Colegiales, a 0-0 draw with Quilmes, a 0-2 loss to Midland, a 0-1 loss to Atletico Atlanta, and a 0-1 defeat to Gimnasia y Tiro. The draw with Quilmes is perhaps the only result that showed any defensive organization, but even then they could not find the net. Diego Diellos received a red card across this period, and J. Juarez has two yellows, meaning discipline is also an issue. Alejandro Orfila has not found a solution to the attacking problems, and the 4-4-2 setup has not generated enough from the forward line.

Pre-Game Odds and Win Probability: Temperley the Favourite

• Moneyline Temperley 2.20 | San Martin Tucuman 3.52
• Draw 2.57
• Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
• BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A

The market consensus puts Temperley at around 41% implied probability, which feels slightly conservative given San Martin Tucuman’s complete scoring drought. Odds around 2.20 for the home win represent reasonable value. The draw at 2.57 is priced attractively in theory, but backing a stalemate when one team has not scored in five games and the other is averaging 1.6 goals per match is hard to justify. San Martin Tucuman at 3.52 reflects the correct assessment of their current form.

Possible Starting Lineups

Temperley Possible Starting Eleven

Temperley’s 4-4-2 picks itself based on appearances. Mastrolia starts in goal after four straight matches. Pedro Souto is the most dangerous player on the pitch considering he has scored three goals from the backline, likely from set pieces, and must be tracked at every dead ball. Kruger and Hauche form a complementary forward pair, with Kruger as the primary finisher and Hauche adding assists and movement. Franco Benitez, with two assists, brings creativity from midfield. Fernando Brandan offers a useful impact substitute option.

San Martin Tucuman Possible Starting Eleven

Orfila’s 4-4-2 mirrors the opposition in shape. Darío Sand has started four of the last five matches and is the confirmed first-choice goalkeeper. Parnisari is the only outfield player with four full appearances and 360 minutes, anchoring the defense. J. Juárez in midfield is a key name to watch, not for creativity but for the risk he carries with two yellows already. Diego Diellos, who picked up a red card recently, may face a suspension. Gonzalo Rodríguez and Borasi lead the line but have produced nothing in front of goal over this run, which is the core problem for San Martin Tucuman.

TipsGG Match Prediction

The numbers point firmly in one direction. Temperley have scored eight goals in their last five matches, won three of those, and are playing at home in front of a crowd that has seen their team thrive in the 2026 Primera Nacional. San Martin Tucuman have scored zero goals in five games, lost four of those, and carry a red card suspension concern into the fixture. The gap in attacking output is not marginal, it is complete.

We predict a Temperley win, most likely by a single goal, with the scoreline staying under 2.5 goals total. San Martin Tucuman’s high corner count in recent matches (15 across five games) suggests they do put pressure in wide areas, so the corner market over 8.5 has merit. Both teams to score is a firm no given the visitors’ record. The hot tip, Temperley to score in both halves, reflects a team that has the attacking depth and set-piece threat to punish a misfiring opponent from the first whistle.
