Gimnasia L.P. vs San Lorenzo Match Preview

At Juan Carmelo Zerillom, Gimnasia La Plata will face San Lorenzo in the second round of the Argentinian Copa de la Liga Profesional.

Gimnasia La Plata stood up to the circumstances in the group opening day at home of Racing Club where it kept a clean sheet and got a valuable point away from home. The protagonist of their very good performance was their goalkeeper Rodrigo Rey who, in addition to the decisive saves he made, also saved a penalty kick. They were pretty stable in their defensive tasks but offensively did not perform well.

There is satisfaction for the result in the team of La Plata, with their coach Nestor Gorosito planning to line up tonight the same eleven that started in the match of the opening day against Racing. The addition of striker Cristian Tarragona is important, he is expected to provide scoring solutions.

On the other hand, San Lorenzo also come from a 0-0 draw in their first game, against Banfield. This was Pedro Troglio's first game on their bench, trying to make the team more aggressive. On the positive side is the return of G. Rojas. Ricardo Centurión, Adam Bareiro and Néstor Ortigoza will start in the starting lineup.

These two opponents will try to reach their first three points after the bore draws played on the opening day. I expect that we will see a different approach in midfield and offense from both. The Over 2.5 goals alternative at 2.50 odds is my pick in this one.
