Let's jump straight into this. Gimnasia y Esgrima is supposed to be the favorite here, but boy oh boy, it's like saying a three-legged racehorse is favorite to win the Kentucky Derby. Last couple of times these two met, Instituto Córdoba basically used Gimnasia as a soccer ball. But, hey, that's history, right?
Looking at this season's record, neither team is exactly setting the world on fire. It's like watching a pillow fight instead of a soccer match with Instituto Córdoba at 5-3-8 and Gimnasia at an even more ‘awe-inspiring’ 4-4-8. But if you like having your socks knocked off, prepare to be disappointed.
Most recent outings? Well, Gimnasia pulled a win most recently while Instituto Córdoba faced defeat against Argentinos Juniors. But before you put your money on Gimnasia, remember that Gimnasia hasn't scored more than one goal in their recent games while Instituto Córdoba scored a whopping three goals against Deportivo Riestra. Talk about mixed signals!
Does the picture feel clear as mud yet? Good. Because in my book, this game is a toss-up between two tortoises racing in molasses.
