José Gavilán recommends a forecast for the Argentine League.
A 2-0 loss in their visit to the ATL. Tucumán last day put an end to the great pace with which Gimnasia La Plata started this edition of the professional league, in addition he also broke his impressive streak of 12 matches without losing in all competitions. Despite that defeat Gimnasia enters this meeting in second place in the standings with 15 points, only one less than the leader, Newell's, so he knows that a victory here would see him reach the top of it at least for a few hours.
The last streak of the “Lobo" and its present in the league are mainly due to its great performance at home, where it has a string of seven consecutive victories in all competitions, it has also registered only one defeat at home in all this 2024. The defense has also been key in its recent performance at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo Stadium, since it has maintained its unbeaten arc in five of its last seven games played at that venue.
Unlike his opponent on duty, Colón has started the second half of the year with some problems, however, he came to achieve a great victory at home against Vélez in his previous presentation, where he not only started losing, but also had to fight with one man less in the last half hour of the match. In addition to the three points, that triumph served to recover from a painful elimination from the Copa Libertadores at the hands of Talleres, and break a streak of six official matches without a win.
If the team led by Sergio Rondina wants to surprise and stay on the path of victory, it will have to solve the defensive problems that have plagued it in 2024, given that it has maintained its unbeaten record in only one of its last 15 matches in all competitions. However, that seems an almost impossible mission to achieve, since Colón has conceded at least one goal in his 15 previous visits to Gimnasia, also losing 11 of those commitments.
The recommended bet is that of a home victory keeping a clean sheet.
