Huracan made it four points from six available in group 6 thanks to their 2-1 away success at Patronato, with Andres Chavez and Franco Cristaldo finding the back of the net. Israel Damonte’s men continue to improve as they won three, drew one and lost one of their last five games. On a sorry note, El Globo claimed a single victory in their last seven domestic matches at home, drawing two and losing four. Huracan winger Norberto Briasco is ready to return after succumbing to a muscle problem shortly before the last game at Patronato. Â
Gimnasia LP had to settle for a 2-2 home draw against Velez Sarsfield after conceding in stoppage time. That means the team collected four points from six on offer in the Copa Liga Profesional and are now leaders in group 6. El Lobo suffered a single defeat in their last six top-flight games, having won three and drawn two. On away turf, Gimnasia claimed a single win in their last five, along with two draws and two defeats. Gimnasia LP Lucas Barrios has overcome his muscle issues and will wait on the bench. The XI will be the same that drew against Velez Sarsfield.
I took the OVER last week on Gimnasia’s game against Velez and will do the same thing here as they have been strong in attack and should be even better with Lucas Barrios.
