Gimnasia host River Plate in Round 2 of the Clausura, two sides nursing poor recent results and a shared history of tight, watchful football. The home side lost their Liga opener to Racing Club, while River have dropped three of their last five across all competitions, conceding nine goals in that run.
The head-to-head data is the sharpest signal here: across all three recent meetings, not one ended with both teams scoring, and none went over 2.5 goals. River arrive without Portillo and Ruberto, and neither squad is firing with real confidence right now. Under 2.5 is priced at 1.48.
The h2h pattern and the scratchy form of both attacks point the same way. This derby tends to grind, not explode. Take Under 2.5 goals at 1.48.
