Gimnasia La Plata are playing Velez Sarsfield at the Liga Profesional, Round 2 of Argentina on September 13.
Gimnasia La Plata (also known as Gimnasia, Gimnasia L.P. or Gimnasia LP) and Velez Sarsfield (commonly referred to as Vélez or VÉLEZ SARSFIELD) meet again 7 months after the Liga Profesional Round 2 match which Velez Sarsfield won 3-1. Gimnasia La Plata are on a poor run of form as they’re approaching this clash after defeats from Colon and Talleres Cordoba failing to register a single victory in their past 9 games. The coach and the players will probably put extra effort in the defense as they have been conceding goals for 8 consecutive matches now.
Velez Sarsfield are preparing for the match after a loss against Independiente in Liga Profesional Round 2 on August 28. They’re going to need to sort out the problems in the back first to improve the results as they have been conceding goals for 4 consecutive away matches now.
