Just the five straight defeats sees Aldosivi under a mountain of pressure to turn their season around under Fernando Gago - with the axe falling on coaches around him, he knows the importance of a win here. 14 goals conceded in those five games speaks to a leaky defence that sees no signs of improving - although confidence up top is still there with two goals last time out against Velez Sarsfield in a 3-2 defeat. Gimnasia finally picked up a win after six games without one against strugglers Union who sacked their coach as a result - even an unconvincing 1-0 victory will inspire much needed confidence. Brahian Alemán was the man of the match against Union and his playmaking exploits need to maintain at that level in order to drag his side out of the bottom half. 1:1
Fernando Gago is under increasing pressure after yet another defeat against Velez Sarsfield made it five in a row so more tweaks are expected to find a solution. Gaston Gil Romero made his first start since a return from injury and will retain his place in this one despite defeat last time out. Forward Alexis Dominguez will miss this game through injury, much like he did in the victory over Union. Expect an unchanged side given Gimnasia picked up a long overdue victory last time out.
