Gimnasia y Esgrima, Recent FormLosing 3-1 away to Vélez Sarsfield won't leave the Gimnasia y Esgrima squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. In that game they had 56% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Vélez Sarsfield who had 9 attempts and 6 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Sebastián Romero will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Consistency in front of goal has been a problem for them at home recently, having failed to score in 3 of their last 6 games. Sebastián Romero will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
Defensa y Justicia, Recent FormDefensa y Justicia won't feel too deflated by the 4-2 home defeat to Huracán, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Huracán's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 9 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Julio Vaccari will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 11 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Nicolás Fernández will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Defensa y Justicia.
