⭐ Editor's Prediction
The bookmakers see Racing as the clear favourite here - home advantage, stronger squad. Gimnasia y Esgrima will likely sit deep and keep things tight, not giving the hosts room to open up. Worth noting: in 10 of the last 11 head-to-head meetings at Racing's ground, no more than two goals were scored. That makes total goals under 2.5 a reasonable call. Predicted score: 0-0.
