Gimnasia LP have won 5 of their last 6 matches against Newell's Old Boys in all competitions. Gimnasia LP have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches against Newell's Old Boys in all competitions. Gimnasia LP have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches against Newell's Old Boys in all competitions. Newell's Old Boys have failed to win 9 of their last 10 away matches (Liga Profesional).
Forward Alexis Dominguez will miss this game through injury as he has for the past three games prior. A strong draw with Independiente may see limited changes for this one. Defeat to Velez Sarsfield will do little to disrupt the line up given the relentless nature of Velez at the moment. Franco Escobar remains a long term injury absentee and will miss this one.
Just one defeat in five games, including against the likes of Velez Sarsfield and Independiente, highlights the ever-improving campaign of Gimnasia La Plata and they will hope that continues here. That being said, they are without a consistent goalscorer to rely on, which has caused them issues in tight games tending to lose out as a result. Leandro Contin is the best bet with two goals and two assists thus far. Newell's Old Boys one win in 10 games is nowhere near enough for a side of their stature and the pressure is on boss Fernando Gamboa to turn things around before they get worse. What Newells' can do to think positively is look to wonderkid Nicolas Castro who has five goals and five assists this season and without him, his side would be much worse off. 2:1
