Gimnasia L.P. vs Atl. Tucuman Match Preview

Gimnasia L.P. faces Atl. Tucuman for the 6th round of the Argentinian Copa de la Liga Profesional. The match will be held behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The hosts registered their second consecutive draw in the previous round, sharing points with Union. Union opened the scoreline but failed to keep their lead and Gimnasia La Plata managed to grab one point from the match. Gimnasia L.P. has registered 1 win and 3 draws after 5 rounds played so far. The team desperately needs points to reach the top-4 spots so I think they will aim for a positive result.

No significant changes are expected by their manager Mariano Messera tonight, as no missings are reported. Next Wednesday, they will face weak Sportivo Dock Sud for the next round of the domestic Cup.

After a 2-1 defeat against Lanus, Atletico Tucuman prevailed over Patronato at home. They were far better on the pitch and deservedly took all three points winning 4-2. In the domestic cup, they won 3-0 against Atletico Comunicaciones and qualified for the next round of the competition.

Atletico Tucuman is placed in the top four spots of the group and every game will be crucial from now on. No significant missings are reported, except for some long-term injuries. Omar de Felippe will prepare his best eleven, aiming for a positive result here.

Both sides score and concede goals with ease, so I'll pick Over 2.5 goals to be scored in this one, offered at 2.20 odds.
