Editor's Prediction
River Plate are considered clear favorites for this matchup, due to their superior class, squad depth, and home advantage. However, Gimnasia y Esgrima are unlikely to simply defend and concede points without a fight. Recent head-to-heads between these teams have seldom been cautious or low-scoring affairs: at least two goals have been scored in 13 of their last 15 encounters. Therefore, even with the hosts holding the edge, the visitors can challenge and contribute to a high-scoring game. We predict a total of over 1.5 goals.
