International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Gimnasia La Plata and Santa Fe are looking forward to this Copa Sudamericana fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
Gimnasia have less rest than Santa Fe in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Superliga game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Godoy Cruz, so at least Gimnasia La Plata are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Gimnasia La Plata form and stats
so far this season.
Gimnasia La Plata are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Godoy Cruz. Morales, defender, was given a rating of 7.01/10 in that game, top of the team. Morales won 5 of 10 duels.
Ahead of that match, Gimnasia La Plata won a home game hosting Lanus (1-0).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 6, drawn 3 and lost 1.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Sarmiento are coming to town in four days.
Santa Fe form and stats
Santa Fe have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Liga BetPlay, after 1-4-5 (10 played).
Santa Fe lost away at Once Caldas (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Delgado was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.34. The defender Delgado hit two key passes and won 8 of 11 duels.
Before that, Santa Fe secured a home win against Atletico Huila with the score 5-0.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Santa playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were 3 Santa Fe wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats.
Santa Fe are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 10 games (in the league). Santa's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 19 goals from these trips.
