Gimnasia La Plata suffered their first defeat of the Liga Profesional season after losing in the previous round away to A. Tucuman by 2-0. It was a surprise to all El Lobo fans after a 12-match undefeated run during which they finished the Copa de la Liga Priofesion league in a respectable fifth position.
With this loss, manager Nestor Gorosito’s team slipped from the top of the league table. Nevertheless, it was the first time this season El Lobo failed to score in a match. Notably, Gimnasia were simply not good enough and Gorosito needs to regroup his team and forget that defeat quickly ahead of Saturday’s game.
On the contrary, Colon Santa Fe ended a three-match losing streak by beating Velez Sarsfield at home by 2-1. It was the Negros second win of the season and with that, they climbed seven places from 24th and will be boosted with morale as they travel to La Plata.
Obviously, Colon’s problems lie in the fact that they can’t hold on to a lead as they lost four points despite leading twice. However, for coach Falcioni, the positive may be his defense which has let in just one goal a game in their three trips.
The odds for a Gimnasia win is quite generous at Sportsbet.io with 2.06. The reason for that may be the fact that Colon beat Gimnasia in their last meeting. However, the hosts are in good form and we expect them to hit back at once and grab all three points.
In their three home matches this season, Gimnasia scored first of which twice were in the first half. Moreover, in one of those games, the first-half correct score was 1-0 in favor of Gimnasia. With odds of 3.79 at Vbet, we will back a correct score of 1-0 in the first half.
