Deportivo Maipu vs All Boys Prediction & Betting Tips (14 September)

Deportivo Maipú welcomes All Boys in a pivotal clash in Argentina’s Primera Nacional, with both sides navigating contrasting trajectories. Maipú, currently sitting 8th in the table, has shown resilience at home, going unbeaten in their last five matches in Mendoza. Their recent 2-1 victory over Deportivo Madryn reaffirmed their attacking edge, with Iván Sandoval and Diego Ramírez emerging as key contributors. Coach Juan Manuel Sara has instilled a compact midfield structure, leveraging veterans like Matías Villarreal and Gastón Mansilla to control tempo and transition play. With 28 goals scored and a solid home record, Maipú enters this fixture with momentum and tactical clarity.

All Boys, meanwhile, are grappling with inconsistency. Positioned 13th, they’ve struggled to convert draws into wins, with 14 stalemates in 30 matches. Their last outing—a 1-1 draw against Gimnasia y Tiro—highlighted their defensive discipline but also their lack of cutting edge in the final third. Coach Pablo Monasterio has leaned on midfield stalwart Juan Pablo Passaglia and defender Hernán Grana to anchor the team, but scoring remains a concern. The team has netted just 23 goals this season and failed to score more than once in their last three games, a trend that could haunt them against a more clinical Maipú side.

Historically, All Boys have had the upper hand in head-to-head encounters, winning two of the last four meetings. However, Maipú’s recent form and home advantage tilt the scales. The Mendoza outfit has not conceded more than one goal in any home game this season, and their ability to strike early—often within the first 30 minutes—could be decisive. All Boys, despite their defensive solidity, have shown vulnerability when trailing, often failing to recover once behind. This tactical imbalance sets the stage for a tightly contested match, where Maipú’s pressing game and set-piece proficiency could be the difference.

Given the current dynamics, a 2-1 scoreline in favor of Deportivo Maipú feels both plausible and precise. Expect Maipú to dominate possession and create chances through wide play, with Sandoval likely to be involved in the scoring. All Boys may find a breakthrough via a counterattack or a late set piece, but their overall lack of firepower and Maipú’s home form suggest they’ll fall just short. It’s a match poised for drama, but the numbers and form guide point to a narrow win for the hosts.
