Talleres de Cordoba
- Talleres de Cordoba have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five matches in all competitions.
- Carlos Tevez was appointed as Talleres head coach in July 2025 and has introduced an extra level of tactical flexibility to the team, who have the potential to play a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 system depending on the opposition.
- His most notable tweaks have been to introduce a more aggressive pressing style, an attacking rhythm and fluidity to the midfield and to get the wing-backs to advance into advanced positions where they can create and score goals.
- At home in Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026, Talleres have played two, won one and lost one (1.5 goals scored, 1.5 conceded).
Gimnasia Mendoza
- Gimnasia Mendoza have won three and lost two of their last five, bouncing back from consecutive defeats with a 1-0 win over Instituto at home last time out.
- Ariel Broggi took over at Gimnasia Mendoza at the same time as Tevez, and he has done a fine job of setting up the club to compete against top-flight opponents with a very structured, compact, and defensive style of play.
- Gimnasia will set up with a low defensive block and try to get men forward in numbers when they have the ball, attempting to catch the opposition on the counter-attack and frustrate them when they are not on it.
- Gimnasia have played two, won one and lost one away in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026, scoring 1 goal in 2 away matches (0.5 goals per match).
Key Players
- Augusto Schott leads the Talleres scoring with one goal from four in Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026.
- Facundo Lencioni is the Mendoza outfit’s leading scorer with one in four in the new season and he usually leads the counter-attacks for Broggi’s side.
Betting Insights
- Talleres de Cordoba are the favorites at 1.82 for Saturday’s Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 fixture with newly-promoted Gimnasia Mendoza on the road at 5.01.
- Backing Under 2.5 goals at 1.38 is a smart alternative as both teams are likely to play negatively and Gimnasia have managed only 1 goal in 2 away games in the league this season (average 0.5 goals-per-away-match).
Prediction
However, Tevez’s side have enough attacking quality to eventually break through and secure the win.
