Gimnasia La Plata form and stats

Only two Superliga home games for Gimnasia La Plata so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

Gimnasia La Plata are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Barracas Central. Midfield player Miramon got a match rating of 7.75 in that game, the max score being 10. Miramon hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Previously, the Copa Argentina-match at home against Excursionistas (after extra-time, 5-7 on penalties) that ended 1-1. A letdown as the team were huge pre-match favourites. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Gimnasia have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 7, drawn 2 and lost 1.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Gimnasia La Plata at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Colón form and stats

The Superliga season is young and Colón have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

Colón played 1-1 against Huracan in their previous match. The attacker Benítez got a match rating of 7.45 in that game. Benítez scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

A 1-1 draw at Union Santa Fe's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Colón playing away and similar expectations, we found 12 relevant matches. Results were 3 Colón wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats.

After this away game Colón return home for a Copa Argentina game against Colegiales. That game is only three sleeps after this.

It's early days yet, but Colón has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
