Gimnasia L.P. vs Huracan Match Preview

Gimnasia L.P. and Huracan come face to face for a place in the top 2 of the group in Copa Diego Maradona.

In the previous round, Gimnasia prevailed 0-1 over Velez Sarsfield at José Amalfitani. This victory was dedicated to Diego Maradona. After 2 wins and 2 draws so far, they keep their hopes alive for qualification.

Hurakan is placed 1st in the group with a total of 10 points, while Velez Sarsfield has 8 points alongside Gimnasia. Mariano Messera will prepare his best eleven to get something positive out of this match.

On the other hand, Huracan had a great run so far in the tournament. The visitors come from a 1-0 home win in a close match against Patronato. Juan Fernando Garro scored the winner and gave all three points to his team. Israel Damonte's team is placed 1st in the group and even with a draw here, they can qualify to the next round of the competition.

The only missing for Huracan will be Juan Fernando Garro who tested positive for Covid-19. Today against Gimnasia, Hurakan must get a positive result in order to maintain their spot, as if they lose tonight and Velez Sarsfield win against Patronato, they will drop to the 3rd place of the group.

Gimnasia needs all three points for qualification, while Hurakan will be pleased even with a draw here. However, the other match of the group Patronato vs Velez Sarsfield could be decisive for Gimnasia. Home to win is my call, offered at 2.25 odds.
