Gimnasia Jujuy vs Nueva ChicagoPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

This midweek catch-up fixture at the 23 de Agosto brings together two teams with games in hand and opposite goals. Gimnasia de Jujuy, second in Zona B with 27 points from fifteen matches, are chasing Atlanta and know that winning their outstanding games would carry them top; Nueva Chicago, fourteenth with 18 points from only fourteen outings, could suddenly vault into the Reducido zone. The tactical key favours a low score: the Torito are among the group's most solid defensive sides, 12 goals conceded, relying away from home on a compact block and surgical counters, while the Lobo, prolific at home with a 21-goal attack, tend to run aground and grow frustrated against organised defences. The midweek slot adds heavy legs and rotation, factors that historically compress scorelines. Under 3.5 therefore stands on concrete foundations: the most likely scenario is a tense, one or two-goal contest, with Chicago disrupting the game and the hosts hunting a single decisive moment. The risk is the Jujuy defence, 18 goals conceded, which keeps every match they play alive. Confidence 6 out of 10: a balance between the Lobo's push and the visitors' defensive hinge.
