Overview

  • The match is scheduled for 22:00 at Estadio Padre Ernesto Martearena in Salta with Gonzalo Pereira refereeing and TyC Sports Play streaming live.
  • Gimnasia tops Zona B with 52 points, two clear with a game in hand, and seeks a fifth straight win after four victories under coach Ariel Broggi.
  • Club official Gianni De Marchi said the original flight was canceled and the squad would travel at midday Saturday, with arrival expected around 16:00.
  • Defender Facundo Nadalín (muscle tear) and midfielder Matías Muñoz (two-match ban) are out, with Ismael Cortez and Joel Barboza likely in and Imanol González available to return.
