Seventeenth-placed Gimnasia and 22nd-placed Independiente are separated by three points in the Argentine Primera Division table ahead of Friday's clash at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo Stadium.

Gimnasia served up an entertaining draw with Newell's Old Boys last time out, while Independiente claimed a narrow victory over Huracan, although both sides remain in the bottom half.

We say: Gimnasia 1-0 Independiente

Given that Independiente have lost five of their last six away league games while failing to win any of their previous 10, we expect Gimnasia to inflict a fourth successive away defeat on the Red Devils.

Both Central Cordoba and Newell's Old Boys will aim to end an unwanted run of draws when they lock horns at the Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades on Friday.

While the hosts have drawn each of their last three league outings, the visitors head to Santiago del Estero on a four-game drawing streak in the Argentine Primera Division.

We say: Central Cordoba 1-1 Newell's Old Boys

When you couple Central Cordoba's recent record with Newell's Old Boy's current form, all the signs point towards another tense and cagey encounter on Friday, as both sides have struggled to turn draws into wins of late.
