Colon Santa Fe vs Ferro Prediction & Betting Tips (1 March)

Colon Santa Fe welcome Ferro Carril Oeste in a Primera Nacional 2026 Group A clash that already feels important despite coming early in the campaign. The match is scheduled for late February in Santa Fe, with Colon trying to build on a promising start to the new season and Ferro looking to confirm their status as promotion contenders. Colon’s supporters are still buzzing after the opening home victory over Deportivo Madryn, a hard‑fought win that finished 2:1 and underlined the team’s attacking potential and resilience under pressure.

In the last couple of months, Colon have quietly pieced together a solid run that blends competitive friendlies with meaningful league points. The win against Deportivo Madryn by 2:1 showed their ability to respond after conceding, while the goalless draw away to Central Norte, ending 0:0, highlighted a more pragmatic side, with a compact defensive block and disciplined midfield work. Add in the convincing friendly success over Miramar Misiones, where Colon controlled territory and chances, and you get a picture of a side that has grown in balance and maturity as 2026 has begun.

Ferro Carril Oeste, meanwhile, arrive in Santa Fe with a form line that reads L‑W‑W‑W‑W in the league, a sequence that has pushed them into the early conversation for the top spots in their group. Over the past two months they have tightened up at the back, conceding fewer clear chances while still carrying a threat in transition, helped by energetic wide players and a midfield that presses aggressively. Even without headline‑grabbing transfers, the continuity in their squad and coaching staff has been a quiet but important storyline, giving Ferro a clear identity and confidence heading into this meeting with Colon.

All of that recent context points toward a tense, strategic encounter rather than a wide‑open shootout. Colon’s ability to manage games, as seen in that controlled 0:0 away result, now meets a Ferro side that has built its surge on structure and work rate rather than reckless attacking. With both teams early in a long Primera Nacional campaign and wary of gifting an immediate rival three points, caution could outweigh risk. Our view is that the most realistic outcome is a stalemate, and the correct score we are leaning toward is a tight, hard‑earned
