Dock Sud vs Comunicaciones - Primera B Metropolitana

All eyes turn to the home ground on September 6, 2026 as Dock Sud welcome Comunicaciones in a Primera B Metropolitana encounter that promises tension, intrigue and no shortage of subplot. Enzo Maresca and Rico Lewis held a pre-match press conference on Saturday as Manchester City prepare to face Atletico Madrid in their third pre-season friendly of the summer.

The standings paint a clear picture: Dock Sud in 12th, Comunicaciones in 9th, and both keen to climb. The hosts have struggled for consistency, L in their last five pointing to a win rate of 28.57%. Comunicaciones have struggled to string results together away from home, DWWLW over their last five with a win rate of 37.14%. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Dock Sud average 1.09 per game to Comunicaciones's 1.03, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. Those who followed Morocco's recent World Cup campaign will recognise the name Ayyoub Bouaddi.

Wing play is likely to be central to the contest. Dock Sud will look to stretch the pitch and isolate their wide attackers, while Comunicaciones must find a way to compress the space and choke the supply lines. Chelsea have been encouraged to consider a surprise move for Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, with former Red Devils midfielder Quinton Fortune believing the Cameroon international could suit their style of football.

The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. Tom Heaton: Would have been frustrated at the goal he conceded but one sharp save just before half-time and safe hands after the break. 7 Leny Yoro: Should have won the header for the first goal but improved after that.

Without the market to lean on, the contest feels genuinely open — and the outcome may come down to which side handles the occasion better. Despite the home advantage enjoyed by Dock Sud, the weight of evidence favours Comunicaciones — a 1-2 away win is the call. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Primera B Metropolitana standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. The club are understood to favour a profile closer to Aurelien Tchouameni or a Premier League‑proven alternative rather than Manu Kone.
