Gimnasia y Esgrima host River Plate in a Superliga clash with no clear favourite according to CheckLive, making this a genuinely open contest. Both sides have shown inconsistencies recently, so a draw is very much on the cards.
Gimnasia’s last five outings include a 1-2 loss to Racing Club, a 3-1 friendly win over Dinamo Makhachkala, a 1-1 draw with Zenit St. Petersburg, a 0-2 defeat to River Plate, and a 1-0 victory over Vélez Sarsfield. River Plate have lost three of their last five — 0-1 to Barracas Central, 1-3 to Aldosivi, and 2-3 to Belgrano — alongside a 2-2 friendly draw with Flamengo and a 3-0 win over Blooming.
The head-to-head record heavily favours River Plate, who have won six of the eight meetings, with Gimnasia winning only once and one draw. Their most recent encounter in May 2026 ended 2-0 to River Plate, but Gimnasia will hope to build on their home form and close the gap.
