REF’s picks

Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza sit comfortably higher in the table and hold a solid home presence, making them well-positioned to edge past a struggling Platense side. Platense have found goals hard to come by on their travels and arrive missing vital momentum after recent setbacks. Backing the hosts to secure a narrow victory offers sound value given the visitors' defensive vulnerabilities away from home.

1. 1Gimnasia sit seventh in the standings with a strong recent home win over Newell's Old Boys.
2. 2Platense languish down in thirteenth place and have struggled to convert draws into wins.
3. 3Gimnasia are dealing with several injury absentees including Germán Guiffrey and Tomás O'Connor, which could blunt their attacking fluency.
