⭐ Editor's Pick
Gimnasia y Esgrima are considered slight favourites for the upcoming match, which is largely due to Deportivo Riestra's poor start. However, in the Copa Argentina both teams will have just one goal - to advance to the next round, so cautious play throughout all 90 minutes is not to be expected. What's more, Deportivo Riestra's matches have regularly been high-scoring lately: at least two goals were scored in 8 of their last 9 games. That's why our bet is total over 1.5 goals. Expected score - 1:2.
