Gimnasia y Tiro has shown inconsistent form in their last five rounds, recording two wins, two draws, and one defeat. However, the team has been involved in high-scoring affairs, with both teams scoring in four out of the five matches. A key factor is their home form, where the team has suffered just one defeat in 17 home matches this season, securing 11 wins. They have scored five goals in their last two home games. The 0:2 defeat to Colegiales was the only instance in the last ten rounds where Gimnasia failed to score.
Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto is in a more stable condition, having lost only once in their last five matches, with three wins and one draw. However, the team demonstrates problems in attack away from home: in their last two away matches against Chaco For Ever and Colón de Santa Fe, they scored just one goal, while losing 0:2 to Chaco For Ever. Their overall scoring efficiency is low – in four of their last five matches, they have scored no more than one goal.
League statistics highlight a stark contrast in Gimnasia's home and away performances. The team sits in fourth place in the table, largely thanks to their home results: 11 wins, 5 draws, 1 defeat, with a goal difference of 27-8. At their home ground, the team scores an average of 1.59 goals per match and concedes just 0.47. Conversely, their attacking numbers on the road are catastrophically low – only 7 goals in 17 away matches. Estudiantes, not featured prominently in the table, shows modest away results: a 0:2 defeat in their last away game, preceded by a 1:0 win over Colón de Santa Fe.
In head-to-head encounters, parity is observed: in the last two matches, there is one win for Gimnasia and one draw. In the last meeting at Estudiantes' ground, Gimnasia won 1:0. Both teams show a tendency for low totals in their direct clashes – no more than two goals per match.
Tactically, Gimnasia y Tiro will rely on the strength of their home fortress and high chance conversion. The team plays aggressively at home, creating a large number of chances while maintaining a solid defense. Estudiantes will likely opt for a defensive tactic, banking on counter-attacks, given their poor attacking efficiency away from home. The main battle will unfold in midfield, where Gimnasia is expected to dominate thanks to their confident home performances.
The predicted outcome is a win for Gimnasia y Tiro. Recommended score: 2:0. Basis: Gimnasia's absolute dominance at home, where they concede an average of 0.47 goals per match, combined with Estudiantes' attacking problems on the road. The probability of a clean sheet victory is high, considering Gimnasia has conceded only 7 goals in 17 home matches.
