Godoy Cruz

WLDLDW ⚖

Godoy Cruz are hoping to win again following the 0-2 Torneo Apertura victory vs Vélez Sarsfield.

In that match, Godoy Cruz had 31% possession and 5 shots at goal with 1 on target. The scorer for Godoy Cruz was Facundo Altamira (28'). Velez Sarsfield got 16 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Francisco Pizzini (18' Own goal) was the scorer for Vélez Sarsfield.

An interesting aspect of more recent Godoy Cruz games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

Taking their previous sextet of clashes leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on BTTS would have lost. Let’s see if that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

🗞️ Team News: Godoy Cruz

The Godoy Cruz manager doesn’t have any fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this match with a completely healthy squad available to choose from.

It’s our opinion that Tomba will possibly employ a 4-3-3 system for this one and select Franco Petroli, Leonardo Jara, Mateo Mendoza, Federico Rasmussen, Andres Meli, Bastián Yáñez, Bruno Leyes, Nicolás Fernández, Facundo Altamira, Kevin Parzajuk and Luca Martinez Dupuy.

📰 Team News: Platense

With a fully injury-free squad ready to go, the Platense manager doesn’t have any fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this game.

From our viewpoint, Platense could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Juan Pablo Cozzani, J. Ignacio Saborido, Ignacio Vazquez, Oscar Salomon, Tomás Silva, Leonel Picco, Rodrigo Herrera, Guido Mainero, Vicente Taborda, Franco Zapiola and Augusto Lotti.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Platense will need things to go their way to hit the back of the net against this Godoy Cruz team who we reckon will do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We therefore see a highly competitive game with a 1-0 winning margin for Godoy Cruz at the end of the match.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
