Betting on Gimnasia
Gimnasia is looking to use the Copa Sudamericana as a chance to bounce back from its poor performance in the league. Currently sitting in the third-to-last place on the standings with only 8 points from 9 matches, the team needs a win to turn things around.
In fact, their last match ended with a resounding 3-1 defeat against Rosario Central, a loss that does nothing to boost the team’s confidence ahead of this match.
Unfortunately, this kind of result has become all too familiar for the home team, which has only managed to attain one victory in its last six matches across all competitions.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Tomas Durso; Bautista Barros Schelotto, Leonardo Morales, Filipe Sanchez, Matias German Melluso; Alan Lescano, Ignacio Miramon, Maximiliano Comba; Franco Soldano, Cristian Tarragona, Benjamin Dominguez.
Betting on Club Universitario de Deportes
Universitario has had a very different path in the Peruvian first division, a competition in which it is third in the standings with 16 points so far, just two points behind the leader.
However, their recent away record hasn’t been the greatest. The team drew 0-0 with Deportivo Garcillaso over the weekend, which ended a streak of 5 wins in a row. Its last win was a 2-0 victory against Cienciano, which secured its spot in the group stage of the Sudamericana.
Despite this setback, Universitario has only managed to win one of its three most recent away matches.
Probable lineup (3-4-1-2): José Carvallo; Aldo Corzo, William Riveros, Matias Ezequiel Di Benedetto; Hugo Ancajima, Martín Pérez, Rodrigo Urena, Nelson Cabanillas; Piero Quispe; Emanuel Herrera, Luis Urruti.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite their poor performance in Argentina, Gimnasia is the clear favorite to take home the victory in this match. This is not surprising, as the difference between the two leagues is significant. This means Universitario will have a tough task ahead this Wednesday, especially since the team has been struggling with poor results on the road.
On top of that, Gimnasia has not lost any of the two matches it played against the only Peruvian club it has faced so far, Alianza Lima. The team secured a win and a draw against Alianza, scoring a total of 6 goals.
Therefore, JefeBet’s vote of confidence goes to the home squad, which seems likely to be the team to come out on top in this clash.
Prediction: Gimnasia Asian Handicap (GIM 3-1 UNI).
