Liga Nacional will stage five games on Wednesday, headlined by a clash of undefeated teams in the Conferencia Norte, where Sportivo Suardi (3-0) hosts San Isidro de San Francisco (2-0) at El Gigante de la Avenida in Suardi, according to Liga Nacional. The doubleheader-heavy slate also includes Gimnasia La Plata vs. River Plate, Centenario de Venado Tuerto vs. Deportivo Viedma, Provincial de Rosario vs. Ciclista Juninense, and Barrio Parque vs. Independiente BBC, all broadcast on Basket TV.
The North matchup carries the most intrigue: Sportivo Suardi closes a three-game homestand after wins over Riachuelo and Jujuy Básquet, while San Isidro, the reigning La Liga Argentina runner-up, travels for the first time this season after two decisive home victories.
Sportivo Suardi hosts San Isidro with both teams unbeaten
Sportivo Suardi arrives at 3-0 and has built its start on continuity: head coach Andrés Poi returns for a fourth season in the second tier, with Milton Vittar, Pablo Martínez, Horacio Rigada, Luciano Lizárraga, Sebastián Braida and Nahuel Fino all back, Liga Nacional reported. To replace the departure of Santiago Calderón, the club added Sahir Abdala and Jorge Díaz Giménez.
San Isidro de San Francisco, at 2-0, kept coach Sebastián Porta and core players Manuel Lambrisca, Nahuel Buchaillot, Chris Hooper and Jero Suñé, and added Tomás Botta and Ramiro Ledesma — the latter arriving from the LNB, Argentina’s top division. The club is chasing a third straight final.
Gimnasia La Plata returns home to face River Plate at Víctor Nethol
In the Conferencia Sur opener at 20:30 local time, Gimnasia La Plata (2-2) hosts River Plate at Estadio Víctor Nethol in La Plata, with referees Alberto Ponzo and Guillermo Grondona assigned. Gimnasia comes home after a two-game trip to Santa Fe that produced a win over Centenario and a loss to Deportivo Norte, and two home games follow this one.
The Lobo made a coaching change this season, bringing in Fernando Calvi, and kept guards Raúl Pelorosso and Pedro Pérez Di Salvo plus Juan Francisco Boffelli and Cuban Joan Gutiérrez Conde, while adding Lucio Castellani, Matías Cueva and Facundo Sanz, who has yet to debut because of injury.
River Plate started with three straight road wins but then lost to Rocamora to close its trip and to Ciclista in its home debut. After Wednesday, seven of its next nine games are at home. The reigning La Liga Federal runner-up retained its coach and core — Venegas, Aprea, Pais and Digón — added Máximo Milovich and Juan Cruz Conte Grand, and signed Jeremías Cardona in recent days to cover an injury to Lorio.
Centenario looks to extend winning streak against Deportivo Viedma
Also at 20:30, Centenario de Venado Tuerto (3-2) hosts Deportivo Viedma (2-1) at Estadio Mateo Migliore in Venado Tuerto, with Maximiliano Cáceres and Gustavo D’Anna officiating. Centenario, under Víctor Daitch, won at Rosario to run its streak to two games and begins a stretch in which five of its next six games are at home, with a short trip to Armstrong in between.
Deportivo Viedma closes a three-game, five-day road swing — a loss at Junín and a win at Pergamino — and has five of its next seven at home. Guillermo Bogliacino remains coach, keeping Lucas González, Luciano Cáceres, Jeffrey Merchant, Joaquín Petre and Alfredo Ventura, and adding Gastón Bertona, Lautaro Delucchi, Mateo Macrini and Marcelo Pérez.
Ciclista Juninense, sole South Conference leader at 4-0, visits Provincial
At 21:00, Provincial de Rosario hosts Ciclista Juninense at Estadio Salvador Bonilla in Rosario, refereed by Ezquiel Macías and Rodrigo Reyes Borras. Following Deportivo Norte’s loss Tuesday night, Ciclista stands alone atop the Conferencia Sur at 4-0, with wins over direct rivals Gimnasia La Plata and River Plate on the road plus Quilmes and Deportivo Viedma at home.
Coach Leandro Genovese arrived from El Talar, kept Damián Tintorelli and Franco Lombardi, and added Nicolás Henriques and Alejo Barrales. Provincial, which beat La Unión in its opener before falling to Centenario, faces a three-game, four-day trip through Entre Ríos next; coach Esteban Gatti and reference player Gonzalo Torres return, with Bautista Fernández and Mariano Fierro among the new additions after the club posted the best regular-season record in 2025-26.
Barrio Parque hosts Independiente BBC in Córdoba
The nightcap at 21:30 pairs Barrio Parque with Independiente BBC at El Teatro del Parque in Córdoba, with Danilo Molina and Andrés Barbarini as referees. Barrio Parque opened with two road wins in Santa Fe but lost its home debut Monday to Amancay and plays the second of four straight home games. Coach Cristian Colli returns with much of the squad that reached the 2025-26 La Liga Argentina quarterfinals, adding Mateo Pérez and Augusto Roveres while retaining Blas Lino, Esteban Cantarutt, Jorge García Guerrero and captain Lautaro Rivata, who begins his 14th season with the club.
Independiente BBC travels for the first time after splitting its first two home games, with Cristián Amicucci averaging 27 points and 17 rebounds across them. The club added veteran Jonathan Machuca plus Julián Roumec, Facundo Folmer, Matías Stanic, Fabio Gauto and Santiago Candia.
