Gimnasia Mendoza (home)
- Gimnasia Mendoza have won their last two matches and are unbeaten in their last two home games.
- Gimnasia Mendoza will be pleased with their start to the new season and sit second in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 table with 3 points after their 1-0 victory at Central Cordoba De Santiago in the opening game.
- Gimnasia Mendoza line up with a narrow back four and double pivot and look to keep things tight at the back, controlling the tempo and transitioning quickly when they win the ball back.
San Lorenzo (away)
- San Lorenzo have drawn their opening match of the Apertura 2026 season.
- San Lorenzo have failed to win their last six matches.
- Damian Ayude’s San Lorenzo have had a poor start to the season, sitting 28th in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 after their 0-0 draw with Atletico Lanus in the season opener.
Key Players
- Julian Ceballos has been a vital cog in the centre of the park, already providing 1 assist in this campaign.
- Valentino Simoni leads the attack and has 1 goal after the opening round in the league, he is a consistent threat for Gimnasia and is supported by the sharp Nicolas Ferreyra, who has scored 2 goals in his last 5 matches.
- Alexis Cuello is San Lorenzo’s star player and has a keen eye for goal, and he has scored 2 of his team’s last 4 goals and 2 goals in the Apertura 2026, making him a constant threat to Gimnasia Mendoza’s defence.
Betting Insights
- With both sides coming in at 2.78 to take the win and the draw at 2.88, the bookies seem to think this will be a close contest, but with San Lorenzo drawing 4 and losing 1 of their last 5 matches and being winless in their last 6 matches, we don’t see them taking the win in Mendoza.
- Under 2.5 goals is coming in at 1.45, and that’s our pick for this game.
- Gimnasia Mendoza are set up to be compact and strong defensively, while San Lorenzo employ a similar pressing style that should ensure neither side is left much space to exploit the other.
Prediction
Gimnasia have proven they can grind out results on their day and we’re expecting a similar performance on Tuesday, so a draw or a narrow 1-0 win for either side seems most likely in this early-season fixture which will set the tone for the coming campaign.
