In this 13th week match, on Sat Apr 30th, Patronato and Gimnasia La Plata will play a match in Paraná in a meeting of these two Superliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which is great football weather. Patronato is fresh off their 2-1 win against San Lorenzo. Axel Rodríguez scored the first goal for Patronato in the 17th minute, then Gabriel Gudiño added another in the 67th minute on a feed from Raúl Lozano. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while 7th placed Gimnasia La Plata is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Unión Santa Fe. R. Sosa Acosta struck first for Gimnasia La Plata in the 48th minute on a feed from Johan Carbonero, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Unión Santa Fe was frustrated by Gimnasia La Plata’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Gimnasia La Plata ended the match with the shutout victory. Gimnasia La Plata is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Patronato won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Gimnasia La Plata is glad to have Cristian Tarragona in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored 4 goals. Patronato is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Lucas Barrios and Axel Rodríguez each having 2 goals in their last five.
