Gimnasia vs Talleres

Gimnasia LP were close to earning points on their visit to Boca Juniors last Sunday, but they lacked effectiveness up front and ended up losing 1-0 away. El Lobo remain on 32 points in the Liga Profesional after claiming only two victories across their last 12 matches in this competition, along with six stalemates and four losses. As a result, they are now out of the fight for a ticket to the 2025 Copa Sudamericana and will play the remaining two games with no relevant aims. On a positive note, Gimnasia are on three home matches unbeaten, winning two and drawing one without even conceding.

Talleres keep dreaming of becoming league champions for the first time ever. Last Monday, the team secured a big 1-0 home success over direct contenders Huracan thanks to a strike from Miguel Navarro in the 60th minute. As a result, La T made it four consecutive victories in this competition to accumulate 45 points, trailing Liga Profesional leaders Velez Sarsfield by three and having almost clinched a spot in the 2025 Copa Libertadores via the aggregate table. In addition, Talleres are on three away matches unbeaten, winning two and drawing one in that spell. Winger Valentin Depietri returns.

After Velez defeat, Talleres can’t afford to waste this chance: if they win they will reach them in the top place, although with a much worse goals difference. Gimnasia has been too irregular, and I don’t expect an easy win for the visitors but I have to trust them to take advantage of the leaders losing their game on Saturday.

BET: Talleres -0.25 @ 1.85
