Gimnasia vs Atletico Colon Prediction: Gimnasia in the Top Three

With the Argentine Primera Division getting even tougher as the days pass by, teams are looking to streamline their approach and get themselves a reasonable spot in the standings. Going in the game, Gimnasia stands third with 4 wins and 14 points from its 7 games. On the other hand, Colon stands 18th with just 2 wins and 8 points so far. For Colon this will be a must win game if they are eying to make a decent comeback and jump spots for making it into the top 10. 

Gimnaisa - Looking to Comeback After the Game Against Tucuman (LWWWW)

Going in the game, Gimnasia will look to compensate for its defeat against Atletico Tucuman (2-0). Before losing to Tucuman, Gimnasia were enjoying their undefeated run in the competition. They managed to bag wins against Defensa y Justicia (1-0), Flandria (2-0), Rosario Central (0-1), and Racing Club (3-1). Gimnasia also leads the head to head stats against Colon with 6 wins. The goal scoring average of Gimnasia is 1.3 goals per game, which is very decent and can be improved further. Gimnasia are very strong at home, as they have managed to stay undefeated in their last 7 home games.

Expected Lineup for Gimnasia

Rey; Melluso, Piris, Morales, Enrique; Sosa, Aleman, Cardozo, Chavez; Ramirez, Soldano

Atletico Colon - Backing Themselves for Another Win (WLLDL)

Going in the contest, Colon will be backing themselves for another win that can help them get in the top 10 comfortably. Colon came back strong in the last game and won against Velez Sarrsfield (2-1). Before that they lost to Talleres (0-2) and Godoy Cruz (1-0). Colon are striking at 0.9 goals per game, which isn't quite competitive in the game’s respect. Moreover, Colon’s away record isn't either quite persuasive as they haven't won an away fixture in their last 13 appearances. 

Expected Lineup for Atletico Colon

Chicco; Ojeda, Goltz, Garces, Meza; Pierotti, Chicco, Bernardi, Alvarez; Abila, Rodriguez
