The Primera Nacional clash between San Telmo and Defensores De Belgrano on February 23, 2025, promises to be a gritty battle at the Estadio Dr. Osvaldo Francisco Baletto. With kickoff set for 20:00 UTC, this match is shaping up to be a low-scoring affair, according to our AI-powered predictions. Let’s break it down for you, bettors!

First, the odds: San Telmo are slight favorites at 2.05 for a home win, while a draw sits at 2.85, and Defensores De Belgrano are the underdogs at 4.05. But here’s where it gets interesting—our AI suggests under 2.5 goals as the best tip with a whopping 8.8/10 trust rating and odds of 1.38. Why? Because both teams have a history of tight, defensive games. In fact, only 31.1% of Primera Nacional matches see more than 2.5 goals, and this one is likely to follow suit.

The 1X prediction (San Telmo win or draw) also looks solid, with odds of 1.22 and a trust rating of 2.0. Given that 41.5% of home teams win in this league, and 36.0% of games end in a draw, it’s a safe bet. Our AI even predicts a 1-0 victory for San Telmo, with a 0-0 scoreline at halftime. Defensores De Belgrano might have the higher squad value (€2.56m vs. San Telmo’s €795k), but money doesn’t always talk on the pitch.

Looking at recent form, San Telmo pulled off a shock 1-0 away win against Colon Santa Fe in October 2024, despite being heavy underdogs at 5.6 odds. Meanwhile, their last H2H against Defensores ended in a 2-1 loss, but that was on the road. At home, San Telmo could turn the tables.

So, what’s the play? If you’re feeling cautious, go for under 2.5 goals or the 1X double chance. If you’re feeling bold, a 1-0 correct score might just hit the jackpot. Either way, this match is all about defense, so don’t expect a goal-fest. Happy betting, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
