Week 25 brings us a match on Dec 11th where Gimnasia La Plata and Patronato will play a match in Paraná in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Superliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 23 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 24th placed Patronato is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Vélez Sarsfield. Vélez Sarsfield had 13 on net, and Patronato had 3, but no one could beat the goalie, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw,. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while 11th placed Gimnasia La Plata is fresh off their 4-4 draw against Estudiantes. Gustavo Del Prete struck first for Estudiantes in the 23rd minute, then Luis Miguel Rodríguez tied it up for Gimnasia La Plata in the 31st minute . With 18 points in their last 10 matches Gimnasia La Plata should be reasonably happy with their performance.
On Sunday Apr 11th, Patronato hosted Gimnasia La Plata in their last match together. Patronato won by a score of 4 to 1. Gabriel Gudiño struck first for Patronato in the 7th minute, then Nicolás Delgadillo added another in the 32nd minute on a feed from Gabriel Gudiño.
Luis Miguel Rodríguez has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, the attacker has scored 4 goals for Gimnasia La Plata. Sebastián Sosa Sánchez and Héctor Canteros are the top scorers for Patronato in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
