BUENOS AIRES (Interstat) — The reserve teams of Argentinos Juniors and Gimnasia La Plata will meet Sunday in a Week 9 Argentine Reserve League match at Argentinos Juniors’ facility.

The visiting Gimnasia La Plata Res. (2-2-3) enters with momentum from a 2-0 home victory over Instituto Res. on Feb. 14. That win snapped a three-match winless streak that included a 4-0 road loss to Rosario Central Res. on Jan. 10. Their season began with more promise, earning a draw with Independiente Res. and a win over Unión Santa Fe Res. in late December.

The host Argentinos Juniors Res. (1-0-3) looks to rebound from a 2-1 away defeat to Independiente Res. on Feb. 13. Their form has been inconsistent, following a 3-1 home win over Vélez Sársfield Res. on Jan. 13 with a 1-0 home loss to Colón Res. two days prior.

Statistical projections for Sunday’s contest present a stark contradiction. The Interstat game simulator forecasts a narrow 1-0 victory for Gimnasia La Plata. However, the same outlet’s ELO rating system heavily favors Argentinos Juniors, assigning the hosts an 85.80% probability to win.

The match is scheduled for Sunday, March 29. Following this fixture, Gimnasia La Plata Res. next hosts Barracas Central Res. on May 3. Argentinos Juniors Res. will next visit Huracán Res. on May 3.
