Gimnasia Mendoza vs Sarmiento Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals were produced the last time Gimnasia Mendoza played host to Sarmiento.
• 60% of the hosts’ home games have produced under 2.5 goals.
• 60% of the visitors’ away games have produced under 2.5 goals.
• Gimnasia Mendoza have only lost 20% of their home games and Sarmiento have only won 20% of their away trips.

Mendoza have only lost twice in their own backyard

The hosts head into Tuesday’s match on the back of a 5-1 away win against Atletico Rafaela while Sarmiento defeated Douglas Haig in the Copa Argentina last time out which saw the club put an end to their three-game losing streak in which they failed to score a single goal. We’re expecting a tight, tense, and competitive ninety minutes on Tuesday as the hosts have form in their favour and the visitors sit 7pts and four places clear in third.

Mendoza have secured three wins, one draw, and suffered just two defeats in their last six outings while Sarmiento lost three of their last six matches, picking up just two wins and one draw in all competitions. Under 2.5 goals were scored when Mendoza last played host to Sarmiento back in October 2018 and four of the visitors’ last six matches have also seen fewer than 3-goals scored.

The hosts have only lost two of their ten home games this season while the visitors have only won twice on the road, picking up five draws, so you can start to see why we have predicted a stalemate between the pair on Tuesday. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in 60% of the hosts’ home matches and the visitors’ away trips in the Primera Nacional B this season and we have backed another low-scoring affair on Tuesday.

Sarmiento have drawn 50% of their away games

Mendoza average 1.80 points per home game while Sarmiento average 1.10 points per away game, which suggests that the most likely result on Tuesday is a draw. Mendoza score an average of 1.00 goals per home game and only concede 0.70 goals while Sarmiento score an average of 1,10 goals per away game and concede 1.40 goals, which is why we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair.

Both teams have scored in 60% of Sarmiento’s away games this season and while the hosts don’t concede many goals at home, the visitors arrive having scored more goals on the road than Mendoza have in their own backyard so far this season. However, Sarmiento have also conceded twice as many goals on their travels than Mendoza have at home, which is another reason we have backed the hosts to claim a point against their promotion-chasing guests.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be scored in Tuesday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair. Mendoza have form in their favour as well as a strong home record in the league this season while Sarmiento have outperformed their hosts in almost all departments this season but haven’t won many games on the travels, but have drawn half of those games.
