3 years ago 580

An In-form Gimnasia La Plata outfit will be looking to extent their nine-game unbeaten streak in all competitions, when they make a trip to Estadio Gigante de Arroyito to take on Rosario Central.

The hosts are currently sitting in 23rd spot in the Liga Profesional Argentina table, having picked up four points from four matches, three points above bottom-placed Aldosivi.

In their last league match, Rosario Central suffered a 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Velez Sarsfield at Estadio Jose Amalfitani.

Luca Orellano scored the opener for the host just six minutes into the game, and they went into the interval 1-0 ahead before Damica Fernandez was on target in the 83rd minute to force the visitors to walk away empty handed.

Rosario Central had a relatively poor start to the season, playing out a goalless draw at home with Lanus before suffering a 2-0 away defeat against Huracan. However, they managed to get back on track with a 1-0 home victory over Godoy Cruz on 17 June, before again slumping last time out.

On the other hand, Gimnasia La Plata claimed a 3-1 victory at home against Racing Club in their last league match, which saw them extend their unbeaten streak to four this season – two wins and two draws – leaving them third in the standings on eight points from four matches.

Eric Ramirez opened the scoring for Gimnasia in the sixth minute before Enzo Copetti restored parity in the 26th minute. Brahian Aleman then regained the lead for his side in the 40th minute from the penalty spot before striking his second of the game in the 65th minute to secure all three points for his side.

When the two teams last met in Liga Profesional Argentina action, Gimnasia La Plata claimed a 1-0 win at Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo last season.
