Atl. Rafaela vs Gimnasia Mendoza Prediction & Betting Tips (26 February)

Atl. Rafaela must win to stand any chance of progressing from this tie, and this is something that Atl. Rafaela have managed in six of their previous eight home games in the Primera Nacional. Gimnasia Mendoza, by way of contrast, have suffered three defeats in four away matches at this level recently, whilst they have triumphed only once in six attempts on the road of late.

Under 2.5 goals have been netted in 14 of the previous 17 Atl. Rafaela home matches in the Primera Nacional, so fans of Atl. Rafaela have had to put up with both a lack of entertainment and poor results. Supporters following Gimnasia Mendoza on the road have endured a similar experience, with under 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last ten second-tier games.

Gimnasia Mendoza have been rock-solid defensively over the course of their previous six Primera Nacional matches, conceding just a single goal on the way to collecting 17 points from a possible 18. Given that both teams have found the net in just one of the last nine league games involving Atl. Rafaela, any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.
