Cañuelas finish the Zona B season needing a wide win over Central Ballester and a Luján slip to take the title, while the visitors arrive with ten clean sheets in 15 tracked matches.

Cañuelas are the likelier winners, but not by the margin the day demands. The one price worth attention is 2.4 for no first-half goals; the 1.65 on a home win, 1.55 on under 2.5 goals and 1.53 on both teams not scoring all ask more than the form supports.

Context

The final round of Zona B kicks off simultaneously at 15:00 on 12 October, with Cañuelas a single point behind Luján. To finish top, Cañuelas must beat Central Ballester by a wide margin and need Yupanqui to beat Luján. That goal-difference requirement points to an attacking, high-tempo approach from the hosts rather than game management. The incentive is conditional: even a heavy win counts for nothing if Luján avoid defeat in the parallel fixture.
- Cañuelas sit one point behind Luján in Zona B after 31 rounds, with one round to play.
- Every Zona B fixture in the final round is scheduled for 15:00 on 12 October, including Cañuelas-Central Ballester and Yupanqui-Luján.
- Cañuelas must beat Central Ballester by a wide margin and have Yupanqui beat Luján to win the zone.

Cañuelas were a man down when Javier Arias equalised in stoppage time at El Porvenir on 5 October to salvage a 1-1 draw. A red card in the penultimate round leaves the dismissed player suspended for the final fixture, trimming an option for a game Cañuelas need to win by a wide margin. The precise role of the player is not set out in the available detail, so how much the line-up loses is unclear. It is nonetheless a confirmed absence rather than a possible one.
- Cañuelas drew 1-1 at El Porvenir on 5 October, with Javier Arias equalising in added time.
- Cañuelas were reduced to ten men by a sending-off before the equaliser.

Cañuelas' tracked home matches have been low-scoring on both sides, with four clean sheets in eight.
Cañuelas need a large winning margin to overtake Luján, but their tracked home matches have produced six goals in eight games. It is a small, recent sample rather than a season-long rule, and the urgency of the final round can change how a game unfolds. Still, it points to a narrower home win being the more likely shape.
- Cañuelas' tracked home sample covers eight matches from 5 July to 27 September 2026: five wins, one draw, two losses, six goals scored and four conceded.
- Their home scoring average is 1.25 goals per match, with 0.5 first-half goals and 0.75 second-half goals.
- They kept four clean sheets in those eight home matches.
Benítez has overseen Central Ballester's closing rounds of Zona B, and the club's Fecha 32 squad list again places him at the head of the technical staff. The list sets out the players available for the trip to a Cañuelas side chasing the zone title, giving a view of the visitors' options. Continuity means no late change of voice on the bench for a final-round away game. The list is a broad squad rather than a confirmed XI, so the starting line-up remains open.
- Central Ballester's Fecha 32 squad list names Jorge "Morrón" Benítez at the head of the technical staff for the 12 October match at Cañuelas.
- The same staffing line named Benítez for Central Ballester's squad lists from round 28 through round 31.
