San Telmo come into this on the back of a 3-1 home win over Colón, but their overall league return still points to a fairly open edge rather than a runaway scoring trend. They have eight goals scored and nine conceded in the season, while their home split is 5-6 across three matches, which keeps their games in a narrow band overall. Quilmes have been even more relevant to a low-line angle, because five of their last six league matches have finished with fewer than 2.5 goals.

The away side’s recent pattern is especially important for an unders pick. Quilmes have lost four of their last five league outings and have gone without scoring in three of those defeats, including the 1-0 loss at Almagro on 21 March. Even when they were involved in a more open game, such as the 0-0 against Ferrocarril Midland, the final count stayed muted, and their away results have mostly been tight, low-margin affairs.

San Telmo’s own recent home results are a mixed picture, but not one that strongly pushes this match beyond three goals. Their 3-1 win over Colón sits alongside a 2-3 loss to Acassuso and a 0-2 defeat to Ferro Carril Oeste, so there is some volatility, yet the home figures still show only five goals scored and six conceded across three league matches. The xG projection of 1.2 to 1.1 also hints at a competitive game without a clear case for a high total.

There is one tension to note: San Telmo have seen both teams score in four of their last five, so a clean sheet is not the expectation. Even so, that pattern can still fit an under if the scoring stays contained at one goal a side or a narrow 2-1 type result. The only head-to-head available, a 3-2 San Telmo win in June 2022, was much more open than the current numbers suggest, so it is worth treating that as a dated outlier rather than the base case.

My prediction is Under 2.5 Goals at 3/10. Quilmes have landed under this line in five of their last six league matches, their away defeats have mostly been by a single goal, and San Telmo’s home scoring record is modest enough to keep the total in check. The xG projection of 1.2 to 1.1 also sits just under the threshold for a game with three or more goals, even if both sides are capable of nicking one.
