Gimnasia La Plata take on the visitors Defensa y Justicia in the round 6 match of Argentinian Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Sunday, July 3nd at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo (La Plata).
Gimnasia La Plata have a worthy start of the new football year. "Gymnasts" at the beginning of the century several times became the vice-champion of the country, which was a repetition of their maximum success. After that, there was only an exit to the final of the 2018 Cup, and that was lost. In general, there were rather mediocre results in these years, such as 11th place in 2021. But in the spring, it was a shame not to get into the playoffs of Copa Diego Maradona - with 24 points scored! In the other group, 20 points were enough. But the form turned out to be transferred to the Liga. So far, Gimnasia has not lost there. They defeated Patronato, Racing and Rosario Central, sharing points with Estudiantes and Platense - both played 1-1.

Defensa y Justicia not so long ago made its way to the high level of Argentine football. But they already have 2 vice-championships behind him (2019 and 2021), and even victories in the Copa Sudamericana and Recopa of South America. Yes, and in Copa Diego Maradona it turned out, having scored 25 points, to reach the playoffs - by the way, it turned out to be ahead of Gimnasia by 1 point. But in the quarterfinals, the team ran into the future winner, Boca Juniors, and lost 0-2. In parallel, there was a failure in the Copa Sudamericana, where the Argentines took only 4 points and finished in last place in the quartet. This, such an impression, knocked down the team, which started the new season relatively unsuccessfully: 4 draws (including with River Plate) and a 1-2 loss to Godoy Cruz.
Defensa y Justicia are undefeated in head-to-head matches in 5 games in a row. It turned out to win three times in regular time and pass the opponent in the Cup on penalties in 2019. In February, as part of Copa Diego Maradona, Gimnasia was beaten 3-2. Gimnasia is in good shape and plays in his native La Plata. It is tempting to bet on the success of the hosts - we will use this option.
Prediction for the match: Gimnasia La Plata to win.
