In the last match, he won out for the Newell s Old Boys by (0-1). This is a team affected by the home factor, stronger when you play in front of your fans, since in the last 30 matches you have 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses as a visitor, with 9 goals scored and 18 conceded, against 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 home defeats, with 23 goals scored and 14 conceded. In the last game he played, for the South American Bridgestone Cup, won to Zamora out by (0-2). In the last eight home games for the championship, Colón has recorded 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, having won 12 points out of 24. In their home league games the most frequent marker in the break was 0-0 (3 out of 8 matches). Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition. In 15 games in this competition, he only managed 1 turn on the scoreboard in the 7 games in which he conceded the first goal.
Colón enters the field for that game a little less pressed after having managed to rediscover the path of victory in the Argentine Championship, thus interrupting a sequence of four consecutive defeats, during which time he did not score any goals. At the time, the team played a very balanced game against Newell’s Old Boys, showing a lot of defensive strength, and with a goal from defender Ortíz managed to defeat the opponent outside the home. However, unlike the attack, which has left much to be desired in the last clashes, the defensive system has been performing in a satisfactory manner, being among the nine least leaked of the competition. Playing in their domains, the club won 50% of the points they played, and in that condition was not leaked on two occasions. The 4-3-3 should be the training used in this duel, which may have a few different pieces due to the game in the South American Cup midweek.
Analysis of Gymnastics and Fencing
After 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses, the visiting team is in 20th place, having won 18 points. In the last match, they drew with Estudiantes De La Plata at home (0-0), after their previous match drew away in a game against Arsenal de Sarandí by (0-0). This is a stronger team when playing in his stadium, because in the last 30 games he has 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses as a visitor; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in his stadium. In the championship, Gimnasia y Esgrima conquered 5 points in 24 chances, after 1 win, 2 draws and 5 losses in the last 8 games they played as a visitor.
For this competition, you have not won any of the last 5 games outside of your stadium. In 15 games in this competition, he never got around to scoring in the 6 games in which he conceded the first goal.
Gimnasia y Esgrima has only one defeat in the last five matches of the Argentine Championship, but he has not had a great moment, since although he has been unbeaten for four rounds, he has drawn two consecutive draws and has not scored a goal in any of them. In their last match, the team played a very balanced game, and had the dominance of the midfield, but created few clear opportunities and so embittered 0x0 before their fans against Estudiantes De La Plata. Although he has not conceded a goal in the last two rounds, the defense still remains among the top five in the competition. As a visitor, the club owns the fifth worst campaign, and in that condition has the second worst defense. The coach is likely to set up the team in the 4-2-3-1, and this time he will not be able to count on defender Alderete, who is suspended.
