Gimnasia L.P. welcome Barracas Central to Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo on Sunday at 20:00 UTC in Liga Profesional Argentina Clausura Round 4. The visitors sit second in the 30-team table with nine points from three matches, three points clear of their hosts, who occupy fifth place with six points.
Barracas Central are the only side in the fixture yet to drop a point in the Clausura, recording three wins, no draws and no defeats, with a goals record of three scored and none conceded. Gimnasia L.P. have won two and lost one of their three matches, scoring four and conceding three.
Recent form tells a different story, however. Gimnasia L.P. have taken 12 points from their last five matches across all competitions, a run that includes four wins. Their sole defeat in that stretch came against River Plate. Barracas Central, by contrast, have gathered only five points from their last five outings, a sequence containing two defeats and two draws.
The head-to-head record from 2026 favours the visitors: Barracas Central won 2-0 when the two sides met on 9 February. That result stands as the only recent meeting recorded on the sheet.
Gimnasia L.P. are placed in the top third of the table, while Barracas Central are in the top two. Three points separate them ahead of kick-off, making the contest a direct meeting between sides occupying prominent early positions in the Liga Profesional Argentina Clausura standings.
