Berazategui vs Estrella Del Sur - Primera C

A fascinating Primera C chapter awaits on September 6, 2026 when Berazategui take on Estrella Del Sur at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. Chelsea take on Serie A giants Juventus in Hong Kong this morning in the latest fixture on their pre-season tour of Asia.

Positionally there is a clear hierarchy: Berazategui sit 2nd, Estrella Del Sur lie 5th, but the Primera C has a habit of defying such logic. The hosts have mirrored the form of a side still searching for rhythm — W over their last five, a win rate of 39.29%. Road trips have been a source of frustration for the visitors — D in their last five, a season win rate of 35.71%. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Berazategui average 1.11 per game to Estrella Del Sur's 1, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. Following a two-year stint in Seattle, Ogwumike continues to produce elite numbers in her 2026 campaign, averaging 16.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.2 steals per game for the Sparks.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Berazategui will look to impose their style on home soil, while Estrella Del Sur are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. His passing display at the World Cup was yet more evidence of his suitability for City and the possession-heavy style Maresca favours.

Star players on both sides will be eager to make their mark, and the individual duels across the pitch could go a long way to deciding the outcome. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. As one of those fortunate enough to be inside the Westfalenstadion when he raced clear to score a Champions League winner against Chelsea in 2023, it is fair to say that Adeyemi's pace leaves an impression.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. On balance, Berazategui look well-placed to claim all three points, and a 2-1 home win would not come as a surprise. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Primera C standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. In terms of outgoings, Perri seems closest to an exit, but that will likely have to wait until Trafford's mandated holiday after the World Cup is over or a No 2 arrives.
