Current form of Nueva

Nueva Chicago is placed 8th in the tournament table, amassing 44 points after 29 fixtures. Their current form displays mixed results — 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss, a fact underscored by their latest match. In their recent bout on August 26th, Nueva Chicago competed against Alvarado. The result didn't work out in their favour — the final score was 1:4 to Alvarado.
The match kicked off rather poorly for Nueva Chicago when F. Malagueño of Alvarado scored an opening goal in the 11th minute, giving his team the edge. At the 45th minute mark, N. D. Ortiz also found the net against Nueva Chicago, extending Alvarado's lead. Yet, Nueva Chicago demonstrated their tenacity. M. Bergara netted a goal in the 57th minute, narrowing the scoring gap. But a comeback looked daunting when A. Irazoque of Alvarado netted a third goal in the 74th minute, and F. Boasso added a fourth for his team in the 85th minute.

Match prediction

Looking at the teams' head-to-head encounters over the past years, they have faced off in 5 matches. Nueva Chicago claimed 2 victories, Gimnasia Mendoza - 1, and 2 matches ended in a draw. Based on the recent matches, my bet is on a total of goals being over 1.5. Despite having lost in recent games, the rivals have been finding the back of the net.
