• Competition: Argentina Liga Profesional
• Date: 05.08.2024
• Kickoff: 21:00 UK / 22:00 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo (La Plata)

After a very good start, Gimnasia LP significantly spoiled the impression with 3 defeats in the last 3 matches. Such a result also meant a drastic drop in the standings, so Gimnasia is now in 17th place with 10 points. The last defeat in the series was very convincing, on the road against Estudiantes 4-1. In the previous 3 matches, Gimnasia scored only 1 goal, which shows that the efficiency of this team is also a growing problem

Rosario Central, like their rival, is in a slightly weaker form in this match. They lost the last two matches and in total they won 2 points less than their rivals. It must be noted that this is a team with much bigger ambitions than Gimnasia LP. It is a participant of the Copa Sudamericana and in the 1/16 finals of this competition they eliminated Internacional from Brazil.

Gimnasia LP vs Rosario Central pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Gimnasia LP have won 3 of the last 4 head-to-head matches against Rosario at this stadium. They are again a slight favorite when you compare the bookmakers' coefficients, however, Rosario Central has had better results than Gimnasia for a couple of years so far and the club's reputation is currently at a slightly higher level. In the 3 previous matches Rosario Central did not see more than 2 goals per match. This is a slightly stronger defensive minded team, so we can expect a somewhat tougher game from them in the back line. Under 2.5 goals seems like a good bet for this match
