Gimnasia L.P. - River Plate
At first look this is a game without any juice. Look at combined table :
1 Boca Juniors----35 22--8--5 65:31 74
2 Gimnasia LP-----35 19--8--8 50:34 65
3 River Plate-----35 16-10--9 64:40 58
4 Velez-----------35 15-11--9 46:32 56
_______________________________________
5 Banfield------- 35 13-14--8 48:35 53
---------------------------------------
6 Lanus---------- 35 14-11-10 43:45 53
So Gimnasia LP is second, River 3rd, both teams pretty secure for Copa Libertadores for next season. But in this game Gimnasia LP will play with full squad.
On the other hand, Daniel Passarella, Rivers coach will rest almost all regulars, becouse in midweek they play against Timao in Brasil, and that is game of the year for them. River team against Corinthians few days ago looked like this: Germán Lux; Leonardo talamonti, Julio Cáceres, Danilo Gerlo; Paulo Ferrari, Jonathan Santana, Oscar Ahumada, Federico Domínguez; Marcelo Gallardo; Gustavo Oberman and Gonzalo Abán.
Probable squads:
GIMNASIA (LP): Carlos Fernando Navarro Montoya; Diego Herner, Jorge San Esteban, Marcelo Goux; Nicolás Cabrera, Matías Escobar, Esteban González, Lucas Licht, Roberto Cornejo; Martín Cardetti y Gonzalo Vargas.
RIVER: Juan Pablo Carrizo; Cristian Tula, Leonardo Talamonti, Franco Miranda; Diego Barrado, Augusto Fernández, René Lima, Lucas Mareque; Rubens Sambueza; Gustavo Oberman y Gonzalo Higuaín.
As you can see, just Leonardo Talamonti and Gustavo Oberman will play again today. So I see great value on home win.
Prediction:
Gimnasia LP @2.30 Interwetten 5/10
