Independiente vs Gimnasia La Plata Prediction: Independiente comes from 2 great wins

The 3rd round of the Torneo Betano 2025 features an intriguing clash between Independiente and Gimnasia La Plata. Both teams arrive at this match having different second round performances, values being important for their standing.

Independiente (WW)

Going into this game, Independiente takes on a 3-2 win to Talleres on the road in the 2nd round which was a dramatic game. The team made light work of enjoying just 43% possession as well as they were clinical in attack. Sporle scored a second before half time to put Independiente ahead before the match was leveled out at 1-1 in the 17th minute by an own goal. They suffered late pressure in the second half but were saved by Cabral’s decisive winner in the 94th minute. Although, they were good defensively and were only able to put 15 shots past their defense, which is something that they will need to address in the future.

Gimnasia La Plata (LL)

On the other hand, Gimnasia La Plata lost 2-0 against San Lorenzo in the last game. Others besides San Lorenzo will learn a lesson from this show as River, who outpossessed them (58% to 42%) and made more attempts on target (9 to 8) also found their efforts were wasted in front of goal. They capitalized on their chances in what was to be a one sided game, with San Lorenzo scoring in the second half and then in the end. Gimnasia shall need to increase their attacking effectiveness and learn how to create better opportunities from chances.

Expert Betting Tips

This one appears to be a close one as Independiente enters with much confidence after winning last week. While Gimnasia had been mainly in control of the orbits in midfield, they need to find ways to finish as an Independiente squad capable of ruthlessness at the other end. I predict another win for Independiente.
