Nueva Chicago vs Deportivo Maipu Prediction & Betting Tips (3 October)

Nueva Chicago host Deportivo Maipú at Estadio República de Mataderos on 3 October 2026 in a Primera Nacional Zone B matchday 32 clash. The home side arrives 13th with 36 points after a confidence-boosting away win at Almagro 0-1, while Maipú are eighth with 44 points and protecting a playoff place after beating Temperley 1-0. Chicago also drew their previous home match with Patronato 1-1, whereas Maipú's away form remains less convincing despite earning a 2-2 draw at Almagro.

For the 2026/2027 season, Nueva Chicago's squad includes goalkeepers Luciano Jachfe, Facundo Masuero and Lucas Bersce; defenders Gonzalo Trindade, Dylan Gissi, Gonzalo Paz, Bruno Palazzo, Guillermo Ferracutti and Matías Vera; midfielders Alan Ruiz, Gabriel Vega, Enzo Roldán, Lucas Ambrogio, Emiliano Méndez, Matías Bergara and Evelio Cardozo; and forwards Sebastián Cocimano, Mauro Pérez and Facundo Castro. Maximiliano Rogoski and Cocimano have carried much of the scoring responsibility, so Maipú's compact defensive block will try to limit their movement between the lines.

Deportivo Maipú's 2026/2027 squad features Agustín Pavón, Luciano Peraggini and Nahuel Galardi in goal; Agustín Leiva, Arón Agüero, Juan Pablo de la Reta, Lucas Faggioli, Luciano Arnijas, Mateo Ortale, Nicolás Fernández and Santiago Paulini in defense; Enzo Pérez, Gastón Mansilla, Juan Cruz Arno, Juan Pablo Gobetto, Mirko Bonfigli, Tomás Silva and Fausto Montero in midfield; and Franco Saccone, Juan Cruz Giacone, Diego Gaitán, Lisandro Cabrera and Luca Landriel in attack. Juan Pablo Gobetto, Bonfigli and Silva are the principal scoring threats, while Saccone's delivery gives the visitors a useful counterattacking outlet.

European odds make Nueva Chicago the slight home favourite at 2.15, with the draw at 2.82 and Deportivo Maipú at 3.60; under 2.5 goals is priced around 1.37. Those numbers reflect the expected tactical battle: Chicago are hard to break down at Mataderos but have lacked consistent goal production, while Maipú's stronger overall campaign is balanced by weaker away performances. Our prediction is a cautious 0-0 d
