Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza and Platense meet in the Liga Profesional de Fútbol, with the hosts sitting 13th on 20 points from 13 matches, while the visitors are bottom of the table in 26th with just 11 points. Both sides lost their most recent match by the same 0-1 scoreline, so this is a game where both teams want to put a stop to their own mistakes first. Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza have scored 15 and conceded 13 in 13 matches this season; they are a team whose defence doesn't leak and who tend not to let opponents pull away. But their recent form is still not steady, having won just one of their last five. Platense, meanwhile, have scored 12 and conceded 19 in 13 matches; their defence is a clear problem and they have not won in 3 straight. In attack they don't create much either, averaging 3 shots on target per game over their last 10 matches at all venues. This looks like a game where the hosts will have more of the ball and gradually open up a visitors side that sits deep. If Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza control the early stages and don't concede first, the game is likely to end in a home win. The thing to watch after kick-off is how tightly Platense can defend in the first half, because if they hold out for a long time, the game could drag on.
