Their attacking endeavors average 1 goal scored per match while conceding the same. The recent form reflects some recovery, securing victories against Boca Unidos (3-0) and Tucuman Central (1-0), although a hefty defeat to San Martin (2-4) as recent as May indicates their vulnerability against the league leaders.

Key to their success has been their resilience in defense and the ability to overload the midfield, applying consistent pressure on the opposition.

San Martin's 4-3-3 formation offers distinct advantages, with forwards capable of linking play while stretching the opposition's defenses. The effectiveness of their wingers in isolating Sarmiento's full-backs will be crucial.

The scoreline I predict, given the statistical considerations has to be an optimistic yet logical interpretation, is 2-1 in favor of San Martin Formosa.
