Belgrano vs Gimnasia L.P. Prediction & Betting Tips (26 August)

Belgrano may have been denied a fourth successive Liga Profesional title last term, but a run of six home wins on the bounce suggests that they may well be the team to beat again this time around. Gimnasia L.P. can only dream of such impressive form on the road, with their previous five games resulting in no points and 12 goals conceded.

Ten of the last 12 Belgrano matches in the Liga Profesional have served up two goals or fewer, so there is no reason to expect anything different in what is an important game for both sides. In fact, eight of the previous 10 Gimnasia L.P. away games at this level have also been of the under 2.5 goals variety, meaning that it would come as a shock to see three goals or more.

When Gimnasia L.P. come calling, excitement doesn’t tend to follow, with six of their previous seven away games at the top table of the Liga Profesional seeing at least one of the two goalkeepers emerge with a clean sheet. What’s more, eight of the last nine Belgrano home matches at this level, including six in a row recently, have followed the same pattern.
