In the Binance Pro League 2023, on the 18th matchday, Gimnasia will welcome Sarmiento at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo Stadium in La Plata. The clash sets the stage for a crucial bounce-back for Gimnasia, who aim to reclaim momentum after a shaky spell, while Sarmiento looks to push into the top half of the standings.
Gimnasia arrives with a recent setback under their belt. After a 0-2 defeat to Godoy Cruz on matchday 17, they snapped a small winless streak, having shown resilience in the previous games. The team, coached by Sebastián Romero, sits fifteenth in the table with 21 points and hopes to regain their footing in front of their home crowd.
Meanwhile, Sarmiento enters the weekend in solid form. They played a goalless draw with Huracán, a result that kept them in the thick of the fight for a top-10 finish. Under Israel Damonte, the squad stands twelfth with 23 points and will be eager to capitalize on the opportunity presented by a home game against Gimnasia.
