Betting on Gimnasia
As we anticipated, Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata is coming from a 0-0 draw against Banfield playing as a visiting team. In addition to that, the match left an aftertaste of victory, given that the Taladro had the most clear goal scoring chances, which made Lobo’s goalkeeper, Tomás Durso, one of the stars of the match.
The coach, Sebastián Romero, will not be able to rely on Ignacio Miramón, who was sent off last Sunday, so he will be replaced by Alexis Steimbach. Meanwhile, the team awaits for the recovery of Maximiliano Comba who suffered a right foot traumatism. Also, Franco Soldano, who suffered a fibrillar injury in his right rectus abdominis, is expected to miss this match.
Among so many casualties, the good news for Chirola is that Cristian Tarragona returned to play after seven months, and although there are still doubts, he might make it to the starting lineup in La Plata.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Tomás Druso; Guillermo Enrique, Leonardo Morales, Felipe Sánchez and Matías Melluso; Alexis Steimbach and Agustín Bolívar; Bautista Schelotto, Eric Iván Ramírez and Alan Sosa; and Rodrigo Castillo.
Betting on Instituto
Last weekend, La Gloria played to a goalless draw against Huracán at home. It was not a bad result for the team coached by Lucas Bovaglio, given that the Buenos Aires team arrived in Alta Córdoba with 11 goals scored in three matches played and remaining undefeated.
However, Instituto, which is characterized by a strict order in its lines, was able to neutralize the opponent’s play but only had a few chances to score. All in all, it was a well-deserved and valuable draw for the newly promoted team, who is still undefeated (two draws and a win), and who is yet to concede a goal.
As no one was severely suspended and there were no injuries, Bovaglio will be able to repeat the team that played against Gimnasia.
Probable lineup (4-3-1-2): Jorge Carranza; Giuliano Cerato, Leonel Mosevich, Fernando Alarcón and Sebastián Corda; Gabriel Graciani, Roberto Bochi and Gastón Lódico; Franco Nahuel Watson; Santiago Rodríguez and Adrián Martínez.
JefeBet Prediction
The history of Gimnasia vs Instituto indicates that they have met 16 times, of which Gimnasia won six times and Instituto three.
The team from Córdoba is looking very solid in defense, while the Lobo from La Plata makes mistakes due to the young players in its team. At JefeBet we believe that all that was mention will contribute to distribute the points between the tro teams in this match.
Prediction: Gimnasia and Instituto draw 1-1.
