Sign inGimnasia La Plata host Gimnasia Mendoza in Round 6 of the Liga Profesional Clausura on 22 August 2026. Both sides have collected nine points from their opening five matches, with identical records of three wins and two defeats.
Gimnasia La Plata head coach Ariel Pereyra and his counterpart at Gimnasia Mendoza have no confirmed injury or suspension issues heading into the match. Squad updates are expected closer to kick-off, with no projected starting XIs released at this stage.
Pereyra’s side have won three of their last four Liga Profesional fixtures, most notably beating River Plate 1-0 in late July. That result demonstrated their ability to frustrate stronger opponents, with a compact defensive shape that has made them difficult to break down. A negative goal difference after five matches reflects two narrow defeats, but the positive momentum is unmistakable.
The Mendoza club arrive on the back of a commanding 3-1 victory over Talleres on 18 August, a performance that underlined their attacking threat. That win lifted them to fourth in Group B, matching the nine-point haul of their La Plata namesakes. With a positive goal difference and three wins from five, they carry real confidence into this cross-group encounter.
This fixture pairs two clubs sharing the Gimnasia name but operating in different sections of the Clausura table. La Plata’s defensive steel, which held River Plate scoreless, meets a Mendoza attack that fired three past Talleres. How the visitors handle the intensity of a side that has made a habit of upsetting bigger names could decide the contest.
With both sides level on points and eager to climb their respective group standings, this Clausura meeting carries extra weight. The winners will take momentum into the next round, while the losers will need to reset quickly in a competition where margins remain razor-thin.
