Guemes (home)
- Guemes arrive in poor form, going five league games unbeaten only in the loosest sense of the word because four straight draws and a defeat have followed one another.
- They have drawn their last four matches in a row and their previous three Primera Nacional 2026 games have ended 0-0, 0-0 and 1-1.
- Mariano Munar took over as Gaucho's boss on 18 August 2026 and has seen his men transform into stalemate specialists with a compact, deep-block set-up, playing on the counter when they can.
- They are a team that likes to hit the ball long and look for fast, vertical transitions rather than sit on the ball in the final third.
- They sit 35th in the Primera Nacional 2026 table with 23 points from 27 matches and need a spark to climb out of danger.
- Guemes average just 0.85 goals per home match in the Primera Nacional 2026, having scored only 11 at their Estadio.
Gimnasia y Tiro (away)
- Gimnasia y Tiro are in good form, winning three of their last five, including a 1-0 home victory over Chacarita Juniors.
- Gimnasia y Tiro are no giants themselves in 12th spot with 41 points from 27 games, but that is a much healthier cushion than their hosts can boast.
- Juan Manuel Azconzabal has kept them pragmatic, compact and tough to break down since taking over on 7 April 2026.
- The Albos can sit mid/low block, press selectively and are effective at springing forward quickly when they have turned opponents over.
- They have scored 12 goals in 13 away trips in the Primera Nacional 2026, which is a modest total, but good enough to get them through.
Key Players
- Juan Sotelo (Guemes)
- Juan Sotelo, with nine goals in 21 Primera Nacional 2026 matches, is their key man.
- Lautaro Gordillo (Gimnasia y Tiro)
- Lautaro Gordillo will be the main danger for the visitors as he has scored three of their six goals across the last five matches, while also leading Gimnasia y Tiro's scoring charts with 12 in 23 Primera Nacional 2026 appearances.
Betting Insights
- Hence the away side are a slight favorite at 2.41, ahead of Guemes at 3.06 and the draw at 2.8.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.36 seems a great fit to the clash of styles that we expect.
- Both teams to score - No at 1.58 looks another way to make a small fortune on this fixture that ought to be a low-scoring game.
Prediction
This looks like a cagey game to us as Gimnasia y Tiro will not need to go all out to get the victory while Guemes are an uninspiring team that look to be in a rut.
