Patronato vs Gimnasia
After seven consecutive defeats in the Copa Liga Profesional, Patronato finally claimed their first three points last time out, when beating Aldosivi 2-0 at home in an intense match thanks to goals from Oliver Paz Benitez and Lautaro Comas. The success also stopped a nine-match winless run at Estadio Presbitero Grella (three draws and six defeats). However, the team remain bottom in the group B table and also in the points average rankings. Patronato won on penalties after a 2-2 draw against Lanus in the Copa Argentina’s second round on Tuesday 6.
Gimnasia LP couldn’t handle their Covid-19 outbreak last weekend and succumbed to a 4-2 home defeat to Lanus. The team continue producing an irregular campaign in the Copa Liga Profesional: having won only one of their last six league matches (along with three draws and two losses), they managed ten points in eight matches, which places them in the 20th place of the points average table. El Lobo are yet to win on away turf this term, having registered three draws and one defeat so far.
Patronato is improving lately, Gimnasia is completely depleted due to covid cases, so I expect the hosts to win here.
