Betting on Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata
It’s surprising, but Gimnasia still can’t seem to get a break in the Argentine Primera Division. The team, led by Sebastián Ariel Romero, stands in 16th place with six wins, three draws, and eight losses, accumulating 21 points, 17 less than league leaders, River Plate.
In the latest Copa Sudamericana game, The Wolf suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Goiás. The match was highly criticized due to the referee’s decision to award two penalties. As this team faces Santa Fe at home, The gut-handler is hoping to secure its first win and keep up its push for a playoff spot.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): Nelson Insfrán; Guillermo Enrique, Tomás Fernández, Leonardo Morales, Rodrigo Gallo; Nicolás Sánchez; Alexis Steimbach, Alan Sosa, Tomás Muro, Franco Torres; Cristian Tarragona.
Betting on Club Independiente Santa Fe
The away team comes to this Gimnasia vs Santa Fe match with a very poor performance in its local tournament, in which it was eliminated last week. Without the local league, the white-and-red team has all its weapons set on this competition, which would be the only salvation for the season.
In the last Sudamericana duel against Universitario, the Lion fell 2-0 in Lima. Despite the midfielders’ incessant effort, the U‘s goals came from two set-piece plays, showing the low level of Gerardo Bedoya’s team.
The Gimnasia vs Santa Fe match promises to be an exciting affair with plenty of creativity from The Cardinals in attack. The good news is that the players come into this game well-rested and physically prepared after several days without playing in Colombia.
In the previous encounter with this same opponent, Santa Fe showed good reading of the game and even managed to come back from a losing position (turning it around to 2-1 in its favor). Therefore, betting on the Colombians to win wouldn’t be far-fetched. If you bet $100 and The Lions grab all three points, Codere will pay you $175.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Juan Espitia; Fabián Viáfara, José Manuel Ajá, Marlon Torres, Fabio Delgado; Fabián Sambueza, Iván Rojas, Jonathan Barboza, José Enamorado; Hugo Rodallega, Wilson Morelo.
JefeBet Prediction
Both clubs are going through a rough patch in their respective tournaments, although Santa Fe has shown greater effectiveness in the Sudamericana. On the other hand, Gimnasia has lost three consecutive matches in this competition.
It is evident that this will be a thrilling game as both teams need to survive in Group G. Considering their current form and recent performances, at JefeBet we believe that the Gimnasia vs Santa Fe match will end in a draw.
Prediction: Draw (GIM 1-1 SFE)
