The draw is 2.77 in the 1X2 market, while Patronato are a huge 3.8 away, so it seems like the odds for the hosts is a lot too low, but there is certainly an argument for this being a close, cagey matchup and our Gimnasia y Tiro vs CA Patronato betting tips lean toward a narrow home win.
Juan Manuel Azconzábal has led Gimnasia y Tiro to 22nd place since taking over on 7 April 2026, encouraging his side to adopt a front-foot 4-3-3 system that puts plenty of tempo into the game and sees Walter Montoya control things in midfield while the wings allow his team to stretch their opponents.
This week, the hosts enter Sunday's game coming off a 1-0 loss to Quilmes which cooled their run of form, but before that they had enjoyed a 0-0 draw with Deportivo Maipú and a 2-1 away win over Colegiales.
Patronato's recent form is just 0 wins, four draws and a defeat in their last five matches, so Marcelo Candia's men do not enter Sunday's matchup in good shape.
Patronato are not as forward-thinking as Gimnasia y Tiro, preferring to set up in a 4-4-2 and rely on quicker transitions and an organised block to grind out results.
Hernán Rivero has two goals in 15 games in Primera Nacional 2026, so Patronato have struggled to convert possession into goals, while Lautaro Gordillo has been the spark for Gimnasia y Tiro as their top scorer with seven.
Gimnasia y Tiro have won four, drawn four and lost two at home in Primera Nacional 2026, so they should have enough to take the spoils against a road side who have won just once in 9 away games, drawing five and losing three.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.36 and both teams to score - No at 1.52 points to the fact that this should be a tight, tense game, but our Gimnasia y Tiro vs CA Patronato prediction is that the home side will just edge it because of the strength in their front three and their ability to dominate the midfield.
