Gimnasia y Esgrima, Recent FormIt's fair to say Gimnasia y Esgrima will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Banfield, a match that ended in a 0-0 draw. During that encounter they had 35% possession and had 4 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 18 shots on goal.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Sebastián Romero where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 9 in the same period. Finding the net at home is becoming a problem for them, having been unable to score in 4 of their last 6 matches. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Romero will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
Instituto, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 0-0 draw against Huracán will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Instituto. They came away from that fixture with a 50% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Huracán, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
They have taken just a small number of points from their past 6 matches, and while they have only let in 2 goals, it has been their unpredictable form in front of goal that has been their issue, with 6 goals netted in those 6 matches. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 4 of their last 6 outings away from home. With 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they are proving that they are not easy to defeat.
Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 2-0 win for Gimnasia y Esgrima.
Gimnasia have managed to keep a clean sheet against La Gloria in each of their previous 3 meetings.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Gimnasia has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Instituto in 4 games.
Gimnasia manager Sebastián Romero has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Lautaro Chávez (Cruciate ligament), Germán Guiffrey (Shoulder) and Matías Miranda (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Instituto manager Lucas Bovaglio has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
