Gimnasia L.P. vs Boca Juniors tips: I Genovesi to continue cautious approach in La Plata

Boca Juniors travel to La Plata as they take on Gimnasia in their latest Argentine Primera Division outing.

Jorge Almiron will be hoping his Boca Juniors side can extend their unbeaten run to five games when they take on Gimnasia L.P.

The hosts, on the other hand, will be targeting just their eighth league victory of the season.

Argentine Primera Division, Sunday 16 July, Kick-off 20.30

Boca Juniors are unbeaten in four straight matches

Gimnasia have picked up just one win from nine

Boca Juniors haven't conceded a goal in four games

Boca Juniors have enjoyed a good run of results in recent weeks and will arrive in La Plata with momentum on their side.

Jorge Almiron's side have won three of their last four games and are unbeaten since mid-June.

What's more, the defending champions have only lost one of their last seven outings across all competitions.

The most impressive aspect of Boca's recent successes has been the number of clean sheets to their name.

Almiron hasn't seen his side concede a goal for over 360 minutes of competitive action - that's a run of four straight games with a clean sheet.

That stat will certainly worry a Gimnasia side which has struggled to find the back of the net.

Sebastian Romero's side have scored just four goals in nine games, though three of them have come in their last three most recent outings.

Results have also been hard to come by for El Lobo. Gimnasia have registered just one win from nine games - a humble 1-0 success against Huracan.

With all that in mind, a slender victory for Boca Juniors is our recommendation in the betting.

Three of Boca's last four victories away at Gimnasia have come by a single goal margin. Thus, another close outcome could very well be on the cards.
