Estudiantes host Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza in a league game where both sides need points for different reasons. The hosts sit 22nd with 10 points from 10 games and need to halt their poor run of results, while the visitors are 9th with 17 points, climbing the table and eager to pick up points away from home. Estudiantes have just lost 1-2 in the league and also lost in the cup and the Super Cup. Their recent league form is poor, but at home in the first half they still average 1 goal per game and often lead before the break. Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza, meanwhile, have scored 14 and conceded 9 in 10 games this season, clearly better numbers than the hosts, but in their last five league games they have won only 2 and are without a win in 3. This game is likely to see the hosts with more of the ball, based on the last 10 games with 56.9% possession compared to 53.1% for the visitors, but Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza have slightly more shots on target (5.11 per game compared to 4.8). If the hosts score first, the visitors will have to open up and leave space to counter into, but if the visitors score first, Estudiantes, on a 3-match losing run, will push even harder and risk being caught on the counter again.
