Argentinos Juniors have their sights set on breaking their three-game winless streak as they aim to move closer to the top four. They will be facing Gimnasia La Plata at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo Stadium in the ninth round of the Copa de la Liga Profesional.

The Argentine top-flight season ended on a dreadful note for Gimnasia y Esgrima, and it had a lasting impact on the team. They began their Copa de la Liga Profesional campaign on a negative note, losing their first three matches. The management was disappointed with coach Sebastian Romero’s inability to turn things around, leading to his swift removal from his position. Leonardo Madelon was appointed as his replacement, and this decision has proven to be the right one. The 60-year-old has brought a fresh energy and revitalization to the La Plata club. This is evident from their perfect record of eight points in the current league cup season under Madelon’s guidance.

On the opposite side of the field, we find Argentinos Juniors, a club that secured a spot in the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana by finishing 10th in the top tier of Argentine football. They aim to replicate or even surpass last year’s accomplishment when they came extremely close to reaching the final of the Copa de la Liga Profesional. Unfortunately, they fell short against Tigre in the semifinals, losing on penalties with a score of 2-4. Their performance in this year’s fourth edition of the national league cup can be seen as moderate, as they have accumulated 12 points from eight matches so far. This places them in the sixth position of Group A, just one point behind the team currently holding the final spot for the knockout stage.

Gimnasia La Plata vs Argentinos Juniors Betting Tips: BTTS

Although Argentinos Juniors currently hold a position eight places above their rivals, their recent performance has been less than impressive, with three matches without a win (D2, L1). In contrast, Gimnasia has shown remarkable improvement under Madelon’s leadership, and they will undoubtedly try to disrupt the last year’s semifinalists in this match. We anticipate an exciting showdown in La Plata.

El Lobo is heading into the ninth gameweek of the Copa de la Liga Profesional with the aim of securing their third consecutive home victory. They were able to come from behind and win their previous two games against Velez Sarsfield and Rosario, both ending with a score of 2-1. However, despite their promising results under Madelon’s guidance, the La Plata-based club continues to struggle with defensive issues. They have only managed to keep one clean sheet in their last 15 matches across all competitions, which is a cause for concern. This weak communication at the back is especially worrying as they are hosting the most prolific attacking team in Group A, second only to River Plate, which has scored 15 goals so far. Argentinos Juniors has breached their opponents’ defense 12 times in six rounds, showcasing their offensive prowess. However, their frequent defensive errors have proven costly, resulting in them conceding 11 goals and retrieving the ball from their own net on numerous occasions. They have also conceded at least two goals in three of their last five away games.

Furthermore, their encounters have been goal-laden affairs of late, with both sides managing to light up the scoreboard on at least two occasions in three out of their last five clashes. This includes their first clash of the season in the Argentine top-flight, which concluded in a thrilling 4-2 victory for Argentinos Juniors. Considering that both teams enter the match with reasonable chances of victory and the fact that their defenses have shown vulnerability, we anticipate an enticing showdown with goals scored on both ends.

Argentinos Juniors team news

After taking charge of Argentinos Juniors in late August, Pablo Guede expresses his discontent with his team’s recent performances. They have failed to secure a victory in their last three matches (D2, L1), leaving Guede with no choice but to make alterations in the starting lineup.

Luciano Sanchez, the right-back for Argentinos Juniors, is set for an extensive recovery period of nearly a year following a serious knee injury sustained during the Copa Libertadores Round of 16 clash with Fluminense. His defensive partner, Pablo Minissale, is also in the recovery phase, and his participation against Gimnasia La Plata remains uncertain.
