Club Atlético River Plate vs Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata Prediction 22 July 2022

In another match of the ninth round of the Argentine Primera Division, River Plate will host Gimnasia y Esgrima.

Sixteenth place, nine points and goals 11:10 - River Plate are firmly bogged down in the middle of the peloton and cannot, as usual, claim the league title. Over the past month, the Millionaires defeated Union de Santa Fe 5:1 and Lanus 2:1, after which they stumbled with Huracan (2:3), Godoy Cruz (0:2) and Vélez Sarsfield (2:2).

Gimnasia y Esgrima feel much more comfortable in fifth position with 15 points and a 9-5 goal difference. In the previous two rounds, the Wolves drew 0:0 with Colon and lost 0:2 to Atlético Tuccuman. But before that there were three victories in a row over Racing (3:1), Rosario Central (1:0) and Defensa y Justicia (1:0).

Bookmakers give a clear advantage to River Plate, slightly overestimating their current capabilities. We are sure that the uncompromising Gimnasia y Esgrima will lose with a minimum score in the worst scenario for themselves.
