Gimnasia y Esgrima, Recent FormLosing 3-1 away to Rosario Central 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 53% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Rosario Central who had 21 attempts and 5 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 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Finding the net at home is becoming a problem for them, having been unable to score in 3 of their last 6 matches.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Racing Club, Recent FormRacing Club will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 home win against Huracán. They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Huracán's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Fernando Gago will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. They have shown some resilient performances away from home of late with 3 clean sheets in their last 6 matches away from home.
With 5 victories from their last 6 matches, they really have put together an impressive run of league form.
On an individual basis, Matías Rojas has scored in each of Racing Club's last league game.
It was one to forget for Racing Club last time they met Gimnasia y Esgrima in the league, falling to a 3-1 defeat.
From their past 5 away matches in the league against Gimnasia, La Academia have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going. Racing have a good attacking record away to El Lobo in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
Gimnasia manager Sebastián Romero has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Lautaro Chávez (Cruciate ligament), Germán Guiffrey (Shoulder), Matías Miranda (Cruciate ligament) and Eric Ramírez (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Fernando Gago has a number of injury concerns in his Racing squad to contend with: Johan Carbonero (Cruciate ligament), Paolo Guerrero (Knee), Leonel Miranda (Cruciate ligament), Gonzalo Piovi (Muscle) and Emiliano Vecchio (Cruciate ligament)
