Godoy Cruz vs Colon
Godoy Cruz managed an important point on their struggle to stay in the top flight, drawing 1-1 away at direct contenders Atletico Tucuman last Monday. As a result, the team made it seven points in the Liga Profesional (all of them claimed across the last four games as a product of two victories, one draw and one defeat). The team are now level with Aldosivi in the relegation table, which means they would have to meet each other in a playoff if it was the end of the season. Godoy Cruz are on seven matches unbeaten at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas, having won three and drawn four since losing to Aldosivi in February.
Last Saturday, coach Julio Falcioni fielded a completely alternative XI and Colon couldn’t handle it: they lost 1-0 to Huracan at home, which represented the team’s second consecutive defeat in league action. Having won one, drawn two and lost two in the Liga Profesional, they remain on five points and far away from the fight for the continental tickets in the aggregate table. Furthermore, El Sabalero are on seven away matches without a win in domestic action, drawing four and losing three.
Colon will very likely use at least a mixed lineup due to their Copa Libertadores commitments but Godoy Cruz has conceded in 4 out of 5 games so far this season so I expect to see an open game here with goals.
