Central Cordoba vs Gimnasia
CA Central Cordoba showed a great display of effort to secure a valuable point on their visit to San Lorenzo, one of the best teams in the league at the moment. The scoreless draw means El Ferroviario made it 24 points in 20 rounds of Liga Profesional action, which keeps them in the 23rd spot of the point-average table despite having claimed a single victory across their last six league games (along with three stalemates and two losses). Central won their last home match (2-0 over Huracan) to stop a four-game winless streak of one draw and three defeats as the hosting side. On Wednesday, they will return to Estadio Madre de Ciudades after the U20 World Cup. Right wingback Ciro Rius saw a red card at San Lorenzo and is suspended, as well as centre back Gustavo Canto, who reached the yellow-card limit. Also midfielder Enzo Kalinski remains sidelined.
Gimnasia LP finally returned to winning ways in league action last time out, when beating Huracan 1-0 at home thanks to a late strike from Cristian Tarragona. That victory allowed them to stop a three-match winless streak of one draw and two defeats and El Lobo took a little breather in the context of a tough season: they made it 25 points in 20 matches to climb into 16th spot of the Liga Profesional table. On a sorry note, Sebastian Romero’s men are on two consecutive defeats on the road, having lost to Godoy Cruz and Union Santa Fe (both 2-0).
I expect nothing but a tight match where Gimnasia who has been more regular lately should be able to take something from.
