Betting on Gimnasia
Gimnasia Esgrima La Plata is currently one of the worst teams in the Argentine League. And it’s not just us saying it, the numbers speak for themselves: they are ranked 26th in the standings with only eight points, having won two games, drawn two, and lost five. In nine matches, they’ve only scored six goals, while conceding 14, which makes them the worst defense in the competition.
In their last match against Rosario Central at Arroyito, Gimnasia Esgrima La Plata lost 3-1, with Bautista Barros Schelotto scoring their only goal. Despite having 54% possession of the ball throughout the match, they only managed to hit the target with two of their 11 shots on goal. What’s more, Gimnasia committed 14 fouls, conceded seven corners, and won eight.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Tomás Durso; Bautista Barros Schelotto, Leonardo Morales, Felipe Sánchez, Matías Melluso; Alan Lescano, Ignacio Miramón, Maximiliano Comba; Franco Soldano, Cristian Tarragona, Benjamín Domínguez.
Betting on Racing Club
On the other hand, Racing is going through a completely different story. They are currently sitting in third place in the standings with 17 points, just four points below the leader, River Plate. In nine matches, they’ve won five, drawn two, and lost two, scoring 13 goals and conceding eight.
In their last match in the Argentine League, they won 2-1 against Huracán, a team they clearly outplayed throughout the 90 minutes of play. Racing registered 60% possession of the ball, attempted 18 shots on goal, and hit the target with seven of them. They received 14 fouls, won five corners, and conceded only three. These are the stats of a dominant team that deservedly took all three points.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Gabriel Arias, Facundo Mura, Leonardo Sigali, Emiliano Insúa, Óscar Opazo, Juan Nardoni, Aníbal Moreno, Jonathan Gómez, Matías Rojas, Maximiliano Romero, Gabriel Hauche.
JefeBet Prediction
According to their professional era head-to-head record, Gimnasia and Racing have faced each other 146 times, with the team from La Plata winning 39 matches and Racing winning 55.
Currently, there’s a big difference between the two teams, and although they might be a little tired from their recent matches in the Copa Sudamericana and Copa Libertadores, respectively, Fernando Gago’s team is expected to have a superior mix of starters and substitutes in terms of both name recognition and performance. Taking everything into account, at JefeBet we believe that all the three points will travel to Avellaneda.
Prediction: Racing wins 3 to 1.
