On March 26, 2025, a Copa Argentina Round of 64 match will take place on neutral ground featuring San Martin San Juan and Gimnasia Jujuy. I suggest betting on goals in this match.
Preview
The Round of 64 stage in the Copa Argentina is played in a single-match format. The winner of this clash will face Racing in the Round of 16, after Racing confidently defeated Santamarina 2-0.
San Martin San Juan, thanks to a successful last season, managed to climb into the country's elite division. However, their debut in the top league has been challenging — in the first 10 rounds, the team secured only one win and three draws, collecting just 6 points. As a result, they are currently at the bottom of Group B.
The team's recent form is particularly troubling: they have lost five of their last six matches, failing to score in any of those defeats. Throughout the entire season, San Martin has only scored in two matches — a home victory over Belgrano (3-1) and an away draw with Sarmiento Junin (1-1).
Gimnasia Jujuy is confidently performing this season in Argentina’s second-tier division, Primera Nacional. Over the first seven rounds, the team has suffered only one defeat, achieving three wins and three draws. These results place the club at 4th in their group, just three points behind the leader. Notably, their away game performance is strong — Gimnasia Jujuy has not lost any of their three away matches this season.
Probable lineups
- San Martin: Borgogno, Molina, Caceres, Lopez, Alvarez, Fernandez, Pelaitay, Watson, Cavallaro, Gonzalez, Martinez
- Gimnasia: Alvarez, Lopez, Cosaro, Dematei, Endrizzi, Camacho, Soria, Maidana, Molina, Quintana, Parelhas
Match facts and H2H
- In San Martin's matches, the “over 2.5 goals” bet has cashed only once this season.
- A similar trend is observed in Gimnasia's matches — only one game has seen more than two goals.
- The last five head-to-head encounters show parity — two wins each for San Martin and Gimnasia, with one match ending in a draw.
- Notably, Gimnasia has been unable to win at San Martin's home ground for over 20 years. In the last five matches, they have only managed one draw, losing the other four encounters.
Prediction
The history of head-to-head meetings favors San Martin, but the neutral ground levels the playing field. Given the cup nature of the encounter and heightened motivation, there are grounds to suggest that at least two goals will be scored in the match. In this scenario, a bet on “over 1.5 goals” at odds of 1.44 appears quite promising.
