La Union approach this contest following a 73-67 road win over Regatas, a result built on strong free throw efficiency and controlled possession play. They converted 17/21 free throws for 81% and limited turnovers to just seven, allowing them to manage the tempo despite shooting only 37% from the field and 19% from three-point range. Rebounding remained balanced at 36 total boards, helping maintain defensive stability.
Windi Graterol led the scoring effort with 16 points and six rebounds, while Sebastian Acevedo added 13 points and eight rebounds. Alexis Elsener and Tomas Nuno each contributed 10 points, showing the team’s balanced offensive distribution. Over the season La Union average 79.8 points per game while allowing 78.1, with a solid 45.6% field goal rate.
However, recent form has been inconsistent with six losses in their last ten games. To remain competitive, La Union will likely focus on half-court execution, rebounding control, and limiting perimeter defensive breakdowns.
Gimnasia comes into this game after a narrow 77-74 win over Racing de Chivilcoy, a contest in which a dominant 30-14 opening quarter provided the foundation for victory. The team produced balanced scoring throughout the lineup, with Bryan Carabali recording 15 points and 11 rebounds, while Anyelo Cisneros and Martiniano Dato each scored 14 points. Emiliano Toretta contributed 13 points and six assists, highlighting the team’s ball movement.
Gimnasia average 80.2 points per game while conceding 76.3, giving them a slightly stronger defensive margin than La Union. Their offensive system relies heavily on passing and perimeter volume, averaging 16.3 assists per game and nearly 30 three-point attempts per contest.
Defensively the team generates pressure with 7.8 steals and 3.1 blocks per game, indicating active perimeter defense and interior rim protection. With six wins in their last ten matches, Gimnasia enter with steadier recent form and a deeper offensive rotation.

This matchup presents a tightly balanced contest between two teams sitting side by side in the standings with identical 15-11 records. Home court advantage could play a meaningful role for La Union, particularly given their recent win over Regatas that showed improved defensive structure and composure in late-game situations. Their rebounding advantage and efficient free throw shooting provide stability in close contests.
Gimnasia, however, bring slightly stronger recent form and a more dynamic playmaking structure. Their higher assist numbers and defensive disruption through steals and blocks can create transition opportunities. The team’s ability to share scoring across multiple players also reduces reliance on a single offensive option.
Statistically the matchup is extremely close, but Gimnasia’s defensive numbers - particularly points allowed per game and rim protection - suggest they may have a slight structural edge if the pace increases and perimeter shots begin to fall.
La Union currently sit 6th in the Liga A standings with a 15-11 record and 41 points. Gimnasia CR follow directly behind in 7th place with the same 15-11 record and 41 points. The teams are separated only by tie-break factors, making this matchup important for positioning in the middle section of the table.
The last five meetings between La Union and Gimnasia show a narrow advantage for Gimnasia with 3 wins compared to 2 for La Union.
