Gimnasia couldn't defend at all last week in the opening game against Defensa y Justicia. They conceded four goals but still managed to get a draw. I was impressed with their fight having to come from behind twice after being in front twice. I liked them especially as the game entered the final 15 minutes as they searched for an equaliser. They kept the pressure up really well and eventually got the goal that they probably deserved.
Union put in a good away performance against Newell's but had to share the points in a 1-1 draw after Newell's equalised from the penalty spot. Zabala, in particularly, looked in good form on the right wing having scored and he will look forward to getting at a defence that will not be full of confidence.
Gimnasia are likely to change goalkeepers after the first game and go to a back four but they can't feel confident about their defending after such a poor performance last week. Regardless of any changes made I think they will struggle to keep Union from scoring. I like Gimnasia going forward, however, with Ibanez getting two goals last week and he will likely start up front in a front three which shows their attacking intentions. I can't see Gimnais being as bad as last week but I can see there being at least three goals in this game with the attacking qualities of Gimnasia and the question marks over Gimnasia's defending.
