Banfield vs Gimnasia
Banfield produced a worthy performance last Monday, but they weren’t able to stop Huracan’s offensive power and ended up losing 3-2 away from home. As a result, El Taladro remain on a single point after the first two rounds of Liga Profesional action. Following their four-game winless streak of two draws and two defeats in the league, the team are now just seven points above the first relegation spot in the point-average table, occupied by Sarmiento.
Gimnasia LP will likely struggle this season and it certainly started that way. Last Monday, the team played a worthy game but ended up losing 2-0 to Defensa y Justicia at home, which means they remain pointless after two rounds in the Liga Profesional, sharing the bottom spot with Atletico Tucuman and Colon. El Lobo are now on six league matches without a win, drawing one and losing five in that spell. On away turf, Gimnasia managed a single victory across their last seven matches, along with two draws and four defeats.
Banfield hasn’t been exactly reliable so far but if they are going to have the chance to win a game at home it was to be against this clueless Gimnasia that has conceded 5 goals in the first two games.
