LA PLATA, Argentina (Interstat) — A pivotal Primera B Nacional clash is set for Saturday as league-leading Estudiantes hosts a surging Gimnasia y Tiro in a matchup of Argentine second-division sides.

The game, scheduled for Nov. 1, is a rematch of a 0-0 draw between the clubs just two weeks ago on Oct. 18. That stalemate did little to slow Estudiantes, who sit atop the table with a dominant 31-15-13 league record, good for 106 points. Their form across all competitions this season is a formidable 50-34-22.

Gimnasia y Tiro, sitting mid-table with a 9-7-2 league record (34 points), enters on a positive run. The visitors are unbeaten in their last four Primera B Nacional matches, including a 2-0 victory over Temperley on Oct. 11 and a 2-1 win at Racing Cordoba on Oct. 4. Their overall season record stands at 21-18-10.

Estudiantes is looking to bounce back from a scoreless draw against Tristan Suarez on Oct. 20. Prior to that, they secured a 2-1 victory over Patronato on Oct. 12.

According to the Interstat game simulator, the most likely outcome for Saturday’s contest is another 1-1 draw between the two sides. The match kicks off at Estadio Único Ciudad de La Plata.
