Platense take on the visitors Gimnasia L.P. in the round 3 match of Argentinian Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Friday, June 17th at Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López (Buenos Aires).
Platense is not the club you can expect success from. "Los Calamares" in 2018 was able, once again, to rise to elite division. But at the same time, there is no particular success at a higher level, for example, in the last draw, only 18th place was taken. However, the spring brought completely shameful results: only 10 points in 14 matches of Copa Diego Maradona. Worse of all the participants was only Patronato, and then by additional indicators. Against this background, the start of Liga was not hopeless. With Godoy Cruz Platense conceded first, but answered with 2 goals - both, by the way, from the penalty spot. And then, thanks to Gomez's goal, they won on the field of Velez Sarsfield.

Gimnasia L.P. have long been relegated to second roles in Argentine football. "Gymnasts" were at their peak at the end of the last and the beginning of this century. Then they became vice-champions of the country four times. But in subsequent years there was only 1 exit to the final of the cup, and then unsuccessful. Last year's 11th place was a worthy result. And in Copa Diego Maradona, it seems, they were unlucky with the group. They scored 24 points, and remained in their only 5th in the standings. In the other group Tigre and Aldosivi, who had 20 each, made it to the playoffs. After that, the team managed to beat Liniers in the cup and played 2 matches in the new Liga. First, Gimnasia took a draw with Estudiantes in the derby, bouncing back after the break. And with Patronato they managed to get 2-0 win.
The sides have only played twice so far. Last year in the championship it was 2-2 in La Plata. The April match of Copa Diego Maradona ended in a crushing, 3-0 victory for Gimnasia on the road. Both Platense, Gimnasia started this season with dignity, and they will definitely try to extend their successes. We recommend to look at the option "both to score".
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
