Platense host Gimnasia La Plata for the third round of Argentina’s Liga Profesional. The two sides occupy the first two places in the division so far, with Platense having six points and Gimnasia four. Platense have enjoyed a flawless start to the campaign, having beaten Godoy Cruz and Velez. The home side looks to have benefitted from the month long gap after the end of the Copa Profesional, Argentina’s other league, in which they finished in poor form. Specifically, they ended on a negative streak of eleven games without a win, failing to score in five of those and eventually claimed the penultimate position in the division. They were equally poor at home, where before their win against Godoy, they went six games without a win.

Gimnasia are in a much better shape collectively coming into this fixture. They have kickstarted the campaign with a win and a draw and are currently on a run of seven games unbeaten, keeping clean sheets in an impressive five of those. Their games tend to open up away from home, where six of their last seven games featured Over 2.5 goals. The two teams also met two months ago, with Gimnasia claiming a convincing 3-0 victory away from home.
