Belgrano defeated Buenos Aires 55 to 31 in the Top-12 on 10 October 2026. The visitors took the game by the scruff and never let go, running out comfortable winners at their own arena. We had called for an away victory with 62 per cent confidence, and the result backed that up cleanly.
Buenos Aires arrived in eleventh place on 40 points from 25 matches, while Belgrano sat eighth on 54 points. The gap between them widened further after this one, and the home side's position looks increasingly precarious. They had won three of their last five, but that streak ended here in emphatic fashion.
Belgrano came into the fixture having lost their previous four outings, so this victory broke a run that was beginning to worry supporters. The away team did not travel to make up the numbers, and they made sure of it from the opening tip. Their defensive structure was tight, and Buenos Aires struggled to find any rhythm against it.
The statistical picture tells the same story as the scoreboard. Belgrano dominated every phase of the game, while the hosts could not string together any meaningful sequences. The visitors clawed their way back from a poor run of form, and this performance suggested they might be heading in the right direction.
The result leaves Belgrano still eight points outside the top positions, but they have momentum now. Buenos Aires remain in the relegation conversation, and this defeat adds pressure to their remaining fixtures. The scoreline reflected a team that wanted it more and executed better when it mattered.
