Betting on Gimnasia
The Lobo had a very difficult time at the start to the season, since out of a possible 15 points, the team has only collected 4. These numbers are the result of a win (2-0 vs Instituto) and a draw (0-0 vs Banfield). The rest of the matches Gimnasia has played have resulted in losses: 1-3 against Vélez, 0-2 against Defensa y Justicia, and 1-0 against Barracas Central).
The team coached by Sebastián Romero is one of the youngest in the tournament (the average age of the last starting 11 was 23), and that inexperience is often paid for dearly. To make matters worse, the most experienced players in the squad, such as Nicolás Colazo, Germán Guiffrey and Franco Soldano, are injured.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Tomás Druso; Guillermo Enrique, Leonardo Morales, Felipe Sánchez and Matías Melluso; Ignacio Miramón and Antonio Napolitano; Alexis Steimbach, Eric Ramírez and Alan Sosa; and Nicolás Contín.
Betting on Colón
Colón has been having a bad campaign so far, since it has only attained 2 points in five matches played. The team lost three of its encounters, 1-2 against Lanús, 1-0 against Godoy Cruz, and 0-2 against Sarmiento de Junín, and it has tied the last two matches it has played, 1-1 against Unión, and 1-1 against Huracán. Winning seems to be only a distant memory for the Sabalero.
That last loss was with Néstor Gorosito on the substitutes’ bench, the new coach of the red and black team, and who is replacing Uruguayan Marcelo Saralegui. His team did not perform badly, as it had 56% of the ball possession during the game and against an opponent that is usually superior. Moreover, out of 11 attempts on goal, 3 were effective.
Probable lineup (5-3-2): Ignacio Chicco; Eric Meza, Facundo Garcés, Paolo Goltz, Gian Nardelli and Rafael Delgado; Baldomero Perlaza, Stefano Moreira and Carlos Arrua; Santiago Pierotti and Jorge Benítez.
JefeBet Prediction
The history of Gimnasia vs Colon shows that these teams have met 66 times, of which the Lobo won on 28 occasions and the Sabalero on 15 occasions.
The upcoming game will hold significance as it marks Gorosito’s return to the stadium of a club where he left a lasting impression. It is expected to be an emotional experience for him. However, when the whistle is blown, all that emotion will be left behind, and at JefeBet we believe that Colón will take advantage of the terrible moment the Tripero is going through.
Prediction: Colon wins 1-0.
