Gimnasia La Plata hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 7 points and a 23rd position in the Superliga table. Visiting Estudiantes holds 9th place with 16 pts.
It's no vacation for neither Gimnasia La Plata nor Estudiantes as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
