Gimnasia La Plata vs Sarmiento Junin Prediction: Gimnasia will return to winning ways?

Gimnasia La Plata ask for consistency yet again while Sarmiento Junin search for three in a row when the two meet in the 11th round of the Torneo Betano 2025. Both sides will go into this match having had a hectic run of fixtures in the draw preceding to it, and a win could be the difference between both teams having a successful season or otherwise.

Gimnasia La Plata (LDLWW)

Rosario Central defeated Gimnasia La Plata 2-1 in their last game. Though they spat out 14 shots and six on target, there was little to show after that, apart from a glimpse of hope. And they responded well, returning to the Royal on her moniker by casting themselves level in the 39th by Castillo. But a slip-up in defence early in the second half off the mark allowed Rosario to take the lead again and Gimnasia couldn’t recover in the encounter’s final third. We should also be focusing on the missed opportunities or sharper finishing in front of goal as their xG of 0.99 suggests.

Sarmiento Junin (DDDLW)

A dominant Talleres Córdoba side could only come away with a goalless draw at home to Sarmiento Junin who held firm. Sarmiento disallowed for any flair from offering just 11 total opportunities as his side failed to register more than 31% possession. Their xG of 0.26 is small relative to the attacking threat they present, but they were committed to keeping Talleres at bay when a number of shots and an xG of 1.81 from the visitors was recorded. A clean sheet is positive for, but their inability to create scoring chances will be a problem in a tricky away game.

Expert Betting Tips

Gimnasia will look to attack a Sarmiento defense that has begun to look compact while Sarmiento want to bounce back and this will be a clash of free flowing attack against sound defense. Sarmiento will aim to steal something on the counter while Gimnasia will rely on their home advantage and seek to replicate the kind of pressure they produced in Rosario. Both teams are given the form and styles to expect a low-scoring encounter. Neither Gimnasia's superior attacking output nor their home support should be enough to separate them from Sarmiento's resilience.
