Quilmes vs Nueva Chicago - Primera Nacional

The Primera Nacional returns to the home ground on April 18, 2026, where Quilmes and Nueva Chicago will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. Real have been keen to sign the Spain captain from Manchester City, but they now face competition from Barcelona for the 30-year-old, who has a year remaining on his contract at the Etihad.

A glance at the Primera Nacional table tells the story: Quilmes in 12th and Nueva Chicago in 15th, with positions to defend and places to climb. The hosts have mirrored the form of a side still searching for rhythm — WLLLW over their last five, a win rate of 31.03%. The visitors have been a mixed bag on the road, L in their last five and a win rate of 27.59% reflecting their unpredictability. One side has leaned on a miserly defence, the other on a free-scoring attack, and the meeting of those contrasting strengths promises an intriguing tactical subtext. Paulo Fonseca's men are still smarting from their Champions League play-off exit but now sit third in the table.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Quilmes will look to impose their style on home soil, while Nueva Chicago are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. Speaking on his YouTube Ferdinand said: "If I’m Manchester United right now I say press the green button and buy him, take him, right now.

All eyes will be on the league's leading marksman A. Ruiz, whose 2 goals this season make him the standout threat and a player capable of deciding the outcome on his own. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. City are seeking upwards of £60m for the 30-year-old midfielder, who has entered the final year of his deal.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. On balance, Quilmes look well-placed to claim all three points, and a 2-1 home win would not come as a surprise. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. All I ever wanted to do was win a championship for the New York Giants.” Beckham Jr is likely to play in the Giants’ first preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings at MetLife Stadium next weekend.
