Estudiantes de Río Cuarto and Gimnasia La Plata meet in clearly contrasting form. The hosts lost 1-2 in their latest match and sit at the bottom of the table, while the visitors won 2-0, have picked up back-to-back victories and are unbeaten in 5 matches. Estudiantes de Río Cuarto still haven't found a way out. Their attack is blunt and their defence is leaky, conceding in almost every match, and they clearly have less possession than their opponents over the last 10 matches. The upside is that at home they tend not to open up and trade blows to their own detriment. Gimnasia La Plata, meanwhile, arrive in good form, hold more of the ball and get more shots on target, but their away game still shows occasional lapses. This match is likely to play out with the hosts sitting deep and waiting to counter, especially late on when Estudiantes de Río Cuarto concede particularly often. If they can keep the door shut long enough, the game will become more stifling and the visitors' chances of breaking through decisively will shrink accordingly.
