Gimnasia Mendoza
Gimnasia Mendoza have won just one of their seven away games in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 ( D3, L3 ), conceding nine times.
Key Players
- Fabrizio Sartori is Independiente’s main source of goals with five in 14 league games, while Facundo Lencioni is the creative heart of the Gimnasia Mendoza team with five assists in 14 appearances.
- Agustin Modica leads the line for Gimnasia with four goals in 11 league appearances, but has two in his last five so is a good outside option in the anytime scorer markets.
Betting Insights
- Independiente Rivadavia are the odds-on favorites at 1.85 when they take on their city rivals Gimnasia Mendoza on Sunday in what promises to be a tough derby day in the provincial capital.
- Backing both teams not to score, at 1.58, seems a good fit for this clash as it has the potential to be a tight contest with a clean sheet for one side on the cards.
Prediction
Independiente are rightly favorites for this derby, but Gimnasia’s approach to these games and the odds on offer makes the game seem closer than it really is - with the hosts likely to win - so we’re going to stay on the sidelines for the head-to-head bet and instead back Independiente to score twice in the game.
