Gimnasia LP take on the visitors Huracan in the round 20 match of Argentine Liga Professional. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 14th at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo (La Plata).
Gimnasia y Esgrima remain a mid-table team in Argentine football at best. "The Wolves" had a decent period at the turn of the century. From 1995 to 2005, they were runners-up in the country's championship five times. However, they never managed to win the title in La Liga, and their performance has been lackluster since then. In 2018, they lost the final of the Argentine Cup, and in the previous season, they finished in 9th place. Currently, while also competing in the Copa Sudamericana (last week they drew 0-0 with Brazil's Goias), the club has slid down to the lower part of the table. In the last three matches, they have earned only 1 point: losses of 0-2 to Godoy Cruz and Union, with a goalless draw against Sarmiento.

Huracan have experienced a sudden decline in its position. "El Globo" managed to win the cup in 2014, followed by the country's Super Cup. However, one of their best seasons in La Liga came in 2022 when they finished in 4th place. But now they are going through a clear slump. They were eliminated from the Copa Libertadores by Sporting Cristal in the decisive qualifying round, and in the Copa Sudamericana, after an initial victory, they had mostly draws. In the 5th round, they lost 0-1 away to Danubio. In La Liga, after a promising start with a 6-match unbeaten streak (3 wins and draws each), they only managed to secure 1 win and 6 points in the following 13 matches. The last two rounds ended in "dry" defeats.
Huracan has not lost in their last 7 head-to-head matches. Only last year did Gimnasia y Esgrima win, albeit by a narrow 1-0 margin, in an away match. Based on the odds, the teams are considered evenly matched. We should not expect a spectacle, so we will bet on the "total goals under 2.0."
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
