Boca Juniors – Gimnasia y Esgrima duel corresponds to the 19th round of Liga Profesional, the football first division of Argentina.
The game will be played on October 30th at 23:15 GMT at Alberto José Armando stadium.
Boca Juniors are placed 4th with 27 points, while Gimnasia y Esgrima are in the 16th position with 21 total points.
The last five head-to-head matches give us one victory for Boca Juniors (1-0), two draws (2-2 in both cases), and 2 victories for Gimnasia y Esgrima (2-1, 0-1).
Update:
The gap between these teams got closer in the last round. While Boca Juniors lost as visitors against Velez Sarsfield, Gimnasia got a 2-2 draw at home. Still, Boca has lost only 4 matches after 18 rounds and they part as the main candidate for this duel.
Boca Juniors didn’t start with their best performance. However, 9 victories and 2 draws in the last 13 matches took them back where they belong. After the most recent loss, the gap with the leader and biggest rival, River Plate, increased to 12 points. In any case, Boca Juniors is one of the biggest clubs in the American continent and they are known for fighting until the very last end.
Moving to the visitor side, Gimnasia has been a low-class team for many years. Actually, the current 12th position is a good improvement for them, as they are usually in lower places. The good news for the team is that Germán Guiffrey could be back to the main eleven after a small knee injury. Still, Maximiliano Coronel has replaced him lately and played a good role in the last matches, so he might be resting for another round.
To sum up, I don’t think that Gimnasia’s improvement will continue, especially against a top team as Boca Juniors. If you enjoyed this free match preview of the Boca Juniors – Gimnasia y Esgrima duel, then register on the best betting software and reserve your seat amongst the winners.
