Chacarito Juniors and Almagro go head to head later this evening the Argentinian Primera Nacional. A relegation dogfight from Group B of the league, this fixture pits two teams trying to dodge the drop against each other. Chacarito, 12th in the table, have a bit of breathing room between them and the relegation spot, five points worth of air. Almagro, meanwhile, are hyperventilating in 15th, one point over last-placed Gimnasia. The away side could really use a win to put a bit of distance between them and the league trapdoor. Despite only winning one of their last six matches, Almagro may believe that they can do it too. Recent matches between the teams have shown that the visitors are every bit Chacarito's equal with Almagro unbeaten in three of their last four encounters.

Chacarito, for all of their flaws in the previous encounters, come into this game in the kind of form that could see them reassert their dominance over Almagro. They have won their last two matches and at home, they have won three of their last five fixtures. Chacarito have an awful goal difference of minus ten at the time of writing. They are doing their best to address this by shoring up their defence and it appears to be a tactic that's working as they have kept clean sheets in four of their last five home games. Almagro have also been feeling this low-scoring buzz of late and none of their last five matches have featured over 2.5 goals. We suggest backing this game to go the way of the home team.
