Why Bet on Gimnasia?
Gimnasia is coming off a melancholy defeat to Newell’s Old Boys (2-0), after going on a four-game unbeaten streak in the Argentine league. The team has won 9 of their 18 games so far and scored 19 goals. Although this is not a high number of goals scored, Gimnasia conceded just 10 in the competition, which makes them the second-best defense in the league, behind leaders Atlético Tucumán.
Midfielder Alemán has been the best player on the team and one of the best in the tournament, due to his excellent ability to attack and defend with intensity, taking Gimnasia to another level.
Beating Arsenal at home will be an excellent opportunity to win again in the competition, after the last setback, and continue in the fight for leadership in a very intense way.
Why Bet on Arsenal?
Arsenal arrives for this match with a very bad record: they haven’t won a single match out of the last 5 they’ve played. The team won only three matches and drew 11 times.
Being 22nd in a 28-team league is scary, but Los del Viaducto can count on goals from forwarding Alexander Díaz, who was important in the team’s 2-2 draw against the mighty Vélez Sarsfield.
Arsenal understands that victory is the best medicine to overcome the bad moments of the team and will try everything to surprise the hosts.
Final Betting Analysis: Gimnasia vs. Arsenal
An unbalanced clash between teams that aim for completely different goals in the league. The home team fights for the title in a better moment and has higher quality players. Therefore, we believe in a 2-0 victory for Gimnásia.
