FERRO CARRIL OESTE AT GIMNASIA INDALO

COMODORO RIVADAVIA, Argentina (Interstat) — The Argentine Liga A’s second‑place team, Gimnasia Indalo (26‑12), hosts a surging Ferro Carril Oeste (25‑17) on Monday night at Estadio Socios Fundadores, with tip‑off set for 8 p.m. local time.

Gimnasia enters the game having won two of its last three outings, most recently an 81‑71 home victory over Independiente on May 18. Forward Anyelo Cisneros Sierra keyed that win with 20 points and 12 rebounds in 32 minutes, continuing a strong stretch that has seen him average 11.8 points and 6.0 rebounds over his last five contests. The 6‑foot‑8 Sierra also posted 15 points and two boards in an earlier win against Independiente on May 8, and he recorded a double‑double in two of the team’s past three games.

Ferro Carril Oeste arrives on a two‑game winning streak after an 87‑85 road victory at Regatas Corrientes on May 18. Guard Emiliano Lezcano has been the offensive catalyst, averaging 18.7 points over his last seven appearances. In the win over Regatas, Lezcano logged 22 points, four rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes. He scored 29 points in a 90‑75 home win against the same opponent on May 13 and has reached double figures in six of his last seven games.

The teams met exactly one day earlier, on Sunday, but that game ended in a 0‑0 scoreline (Interstat) — likely a scheduling anomaly or forfeit. Their most recent completed matchup came Jan. 18, when Gimnasia Indalo won 88‑75 at home. Ferro Carril Oeste had taken the prior meeting Nov. 22, 2025, an 84‑72 home win.

Gimnasia Indalo’s home record stands at 15‑5 this season, while Ferro Carril Oeste is 9‑10 on the road. The home team has won the last two head‑to‑head games in Comodoro Rivadavia.

For Ferro, center Kevin Hernandez contributed 14 points and seven rebounds in the May 18 win, and point guard Jano David Martinez added nine points and four assists. For Gimnasia, guard Marcos Chacon delivered 22 points and seven rebounds in the win over Independiente, while center Bryan Carabali chipped in 11 points and five boards.

Monday’s contest carries significant playoff implications. Gimnasia trails first‑place Instituto Cordoba by one game in the standings, while Ferro Carril Oeste sits third, 2½ games behind the leader.
