Gimnasia (home)
- Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata host Atletico Huracan in an important matchup for both sides as they sit in 20th and 17th place respectively after 11 games.
- Zaniratto’s men don’t score a lot of goals, but they have conceded seven in five home games in La Plata this term, so there is some fragility to their game.
- Marcelo Torres remains their main goal threat with four in the league this season and is their most dangerous player.
Huracan (away)
- Huracan have the superior recent form with two wins, two draws and one defeat from their last five matches in all competitions (Copa Argentina win 2-1 Olimpo, 0-0 league draw Barracas Central).
- Diego Martínez has got his Huracan side playing a more possession-based style than the other clubs in the division, which can be quite proactive and flexible in terms of formation.
- Huracan will look to press high and win the ball back in the opposition half whenever possible, but they have lacked goals on the road this term, scoring only twice in five away games in Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026.
- Jordy Caicedo is Huracan’s talisman with five goals in ten league games and they are a much more potent unit when the marksman is in the starting lineup.
- Thaiel Peralta has chipped in with two goals in his last five appearances for Huracan and adds another dimension to his team’s attacking play.
Head-to-Head
Gimnasia have a slight edge in the overall head-to-head record ( W2, D1, L1 ).
Key Players

Gimnasia:

- Marcelo Torres remains their main goal threat with four in the league this season and is their most dangerous player.
-
Huracan:
- Jordy Caicedo is Huracan’s talisman with five goals in ten league games.

Betting Insights
- The bookmakers have this as a very tight game with the away side 2.68, while Gimnasia and the draw are both 2.86.
- The Under 2.5 goal bet is extremely low at 1.4, but is worth backing given the away team’s road goal-scoring issues.
Prediction
- But we are going for Huracan to edge it because they have the better form, while Gimnasia have two defeats in their five home matches this campaign.
- This looks like a chess match in midfield with Huracan looking to control possession and Gimnasia looking to be compact and prevent their opponents from creating any space to exploit.
