Gimnasia (Jujuy)

Betting Insights
- An away win is also a possibility here if the Gimnasia forwards convert their chances, but the odds of +185 on the road team are enough of a turn-off to back the draw.
- The match odds, BTTS and under 2.5 goals are all very short, but it’s the latter that makes the most sense in this spot given neither team has been in good form recently.
