Gimnasia La Plata form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Superliga this season. Gimnasia La Plata have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 7 losses from their games here at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo.

The home team returns to Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo after being equal after 90 minutes with Huracan (placed 20th) on their last time out; the Superliga game ended 1-1. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Velez Sarsfield.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Gimnasia La Plata have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won one time, drawn zero and lost four.

The lack of attacking qualities in Gimnasia La Plata means that they have only scored 3 goals in 9 league home games, less than half a goal per match. 10 goals have been conceded.

Patronato form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Patronato so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-5 (win-draw-lose). Patronato are desperate to end a 13-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Independiente fixture.

There were no winners in Patronato's previous match, a Superliga home game that ended 2-2 vs Arsenal de Sarandi (placed 6th). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Banfield that ended 3-3.

A comeback secured a 90 minute draw in the match against Arsenal de Sarandi. Patronato were trailing 0-2 but refused to surrender and clawed their way back to 2-2, with Cristian Tarragona scoring the equalizer.
