On July 8, Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo (La Plata) will host the match of the 23rd round of the Liga Profesional, in which Gimnasia La Plata will compete with Independiente. The battle will start at 00:00 CET.

Gimnasia La Plata

The club has never won any major trophies, except for the championship title in 1929, but, to tell the truth, it was at the end of the pre-professional period. Speaking about the current format, there was a maximum of the 2nd place, which was achieved back in 2005, and the only exit to the cup final, which happened in 2018, ended in a defeat. More often than not, like in the previous season, “the Wolves” were somewhere in the middle – then they finished in the 9th place. The higher mentioned result, by the way, was enough to reach the Copa Sudamericana, but the Argentine club disappointed there – 4 defeats and only 1 victory. Taking into account the Primera, the results are nicer, but the team has taken a step back there too: only 7 wins and 27 points in 22 championship matches, which have led to the 17th position.

Independiente

The team, on the one hand, remains one of the most titled in the country. On the other hand, there is no use of 14 championship titles if the previous one was taken more than two decades ago, in 2002. It goes without saying that it took the Copa Sudamericana after that, even twice, but, generally speaking, it was still a modest compensation for mediocre achievements. By the way, the previous Primera brought only the 14th place. Nowadays, there is no special chance to repeat even that modest result. There was no load of international matches, but it still is not able to reach the top 20. At the same time, it managed to win twice in 3 previous Primera battles. Obviously, the team is eager to brighten up a mediocre year with at least a good finish.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Gimnasia has won 3 of 5 previous matches, and there was only 1 loss to Independiente. Speaking about the previous autumn, the hosts got a 3-1 victory in La Plata.

Predictions

Bookmakers give a minimal advantage to the home team. Still, the guests are not bad and can compete for the points in La Plata. Thus, we bet on neutral “total: over 2.0” (odd: 1.87).
