- Home/away form: Quilmes have been solid at home, averaging 1.11 goals per game (10 scored in 9 games) and Gimnasia Jujuy have been modest on the road, averaging 1.00 goals scored and 1.60 goals conceded.
- In-form player: Octavio Bianchi has been a hot favourite for Gimnasia Jujuy, with 4 goals in their last 5 games.
- Key finisher: Agustín Lavezzi, a reliable finisher for Quilmes, has scored 5 Primera Nacional 2026 goals in 20 appearances this term.
Punchy Quilmes v structured Gimnasia
Form and context
23rd-placed Quilmes Atletico Club (24 points from 20 games) host 2nd-placed Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy (38 points) in a Primera Nacional 2026 matchup on Monday, so there is a big gap in terms of league form and punch between these two sides.
Key match notes
- Quilmes will have to play their best game to come close to their opponents, but they are in reasonable form with 2 wins and 3 losses from their last 5 matches.
- However, the sting of yesterday's 1-0 away loss to Ferro Midland may still be felt and the home crowd will have to be on their game to give the side the boost they need to come through this game.
- Under the management of Leandro Gracián since 4 March 2026, Quilmes have played a higher-intensity brand of soccer in a 4-4-2 system that has seen the team press higher and chase the pace of the game more.
- Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy are more of a structured side, preferring to play with space and counter-attack, so this could be a clash of chess players vs. pressers.
Quilmes to win at home
The home advantage should play into Quilmes' hands, however, as they have won their last 2 and will be looking to extend that run in this fixture. Gimnasia are also in form with 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5, topping off with a 1-1 home draw to Chacarita Juniors yesterday.
Hernán Pellerano's side have been disciplined, well-balanced and hard to break down in a compact 4-4-2 system this season and they should be able to keep the hosts at bay for long spells in this game, but it's anyone's guess what the score will be.
The odds tell the story
Quilmes' recent home form should be enough to see them through at the odds and, although they are favourites at 2.08, that is only just ahead of the visiting side at 3.45, with the draw priced at 3.04.
We're going to take the value in the shorter odds for a home win and with under 2.5 goals at 1.53, which looks like a cleaner angle on this matchup between two teams that have a similar goal average when playing home and away respectively. The head-to-head in this division saw a 1-0 win for Gimnasia at home this term, but the previous two were split 1-1.
