Gimnasia y Esgrima, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Gimnasia y Esgrima players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Atlético Tucumán. Their share of possession in that meeting was 59%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Atlético Tucumán, who had 13 shots on goal with 6 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. This season they have failed to score in 12 of their 24 games; however, of the 11 games played at home, they've notched up 5 clean sheets.
Gimnasia will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Boca Juniors, Recent FormBoca Juniors have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 home win against Huracán in their previous league match. In that game they had 61% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Huracán who had 6 attempts and 1 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 4 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They're currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets, but playing away from home this season, they have failed to score in 6 of their 11 games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
The Boca Juniors travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Luca Langoni, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
It was not a positive ending for Gimnasia y Esgrima last time they met Boca Juniors in the league, with the game ending in a 1-2 defeat.
The Gimnasia defence has struggled in front of its own fans when Xeneizes have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 meetings 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), Germán Guiffrey (Shoulder) and Matías Miranda (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Jorge Almirón has a number of injury concerns in his Boca squad to contend with: Luis Advíncula (Knee), Luca Langoni (Muscle), Javier Morales (Hamstring), Marcos Rojo (Muscle), Óscar Romero (Muscle) and Ezequiel Zeballos (Knee)
