Gimnasia y Esgrima, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Barracas Central will not have sat easily with the Gimnasia y Esgrima squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. During that encounter they had 55% possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 9 shots on goal.
Manager Sebastián Romero will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 4 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Finding the net regularly has been an issue for them in their home stadium, with zero goals scored in 4 of their last 6 matches. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Romero will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.
Colón, Recent FormColón will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Huracán with a 1-1 draw and a valuable point. In that game they had 56% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Huracán who had 10 attempts and 4 on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 8 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 4 of their last 6 outings away from home.
A win for Colón is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
Santiago Pierotti will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Gimnasia y Esgrima in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Colón.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, Gimnasia have been unable to break through Sabaleros' defence and find the back of the net.
In this away league fixture, Colón has not won in the last 4 times they have played Gimnasia at The Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo.
Gimnasia manager Sebastián Romero has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Lautaro Chávez (Cruciate ligament), Nicolás Colazo (Sprained knee), Germán Guiffrey (Shoulder) and Matías Miranda (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Colón manager Marcelo Saralegui ahead of this clash, with Facundo Farías (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Saralegui a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
