On Monday Feb 6th, Gimnasia La Plata will host Defensa y Justicia in a meeting of these two Superliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 25 degrees, a perfect day for football. Gimnasia La Plata is fresh off their 1-3 loss against Vélez Sarsfield. Lucas Janson scored the first goal for Vélez Sarsfield in the 26th minute, then Walter Bou added another in the 54th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while 26th placed Defensa y Justicia is fresh off their 2-4 loss against Huracán. Santiago Hezze scored the first goal for Huracán in the 7th minute, then Gabriel Gudiño added another in the 43rd minute on a feed from Gauto. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Defensa y Justicia’s most prolific scorer has been Nicolás Fernández. He has netted 3 goals over the last five matches. Leonardo Morales and Muro are the top scorers for Gimnasia La Plata in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
