On Sunday night, Gimnasia La Plata will face Boca Juniors at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo in the Argentinian Primera Division.
Gimnasia La Plata form guideSebastian Romero’s team has endured a poor campaign in the Argentinian top flight, as they are currently in 20th place in the standings. They have collected just 28 points in their 24 Primera Division matches.
Gimnasia’s recent league form has been inconsistent, as they have failed to win any of their last five games in any competitions, four of which were in the Argentinian top flight. However, a 2-0 defeat at Atletico Tucuman last time out ended a four-game unbeaten run in the league.
Gimnasia is unbeaten in five home games in the Argentinian top flight, having recorded two wins and three draws. Their recent home matches have lacked goals in the Primera Division, as their last six games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Boca Juniors form guideThe visitor's form has improved of late, as the team from the capital is now unbeaten in four games in all competitions while being unbeaten in three matches in the Argentinian top flight. A 1-0 home win over Huracan last time out saw the home team keep their fourth straight clean sheet. Unsurprisingly, considering their recent clean sheets, nine of their last ten league matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
Boca Juniors have struggled for away victories in the Primera Division, winning just one of their last seven matches, having suffered three defeats in their previous five away games in the Argentinian top flight.
Boca’s main problem on their travels has been scoring goals, as they have failed to score in four of their last five away matches in the Primera Division.
What am I backing?Boca Juniors' recent form has improved of late, and I am backing the visitors to record another victory in this clash.
