Godoy Cruz vs Arsenal
Godoy Cruz continue improving as the season progresses. In their last league game, the team managed to beat Newell’s Old Boys 2-1 away with Martin Ojeda and Matias Ramirez scoring. Therefore, El Tomba made it four Liga Profesional matches unbeaten, having won three and drawn one to accumulate 28 points. This good campaign allows them to forget about relegation (at least for now) and sit into the Copa Sudamericana zone in the aggregate rankings. Furthermore, the side are on 12 home matches without defeat in domestic action, with six victories and six draws since losing to Aldosivi in February.
Sarandi Arsenal extended their winless streak to four league matches (three stalemates and one defeat) last time out, when they drew 1-1 against Huracan at home in a hard-fought match. Leonardo Madelon’s men remain performing irregularly in the Liga Profesional, accumulating 19 points in 16 rounds. That means the team are holding a five-point gap over the first relegation spot in the respective table, occupied by Aldosivi. On away turf, Arsenal are on four matches without a win, with three draws and one defeat since beating Patronato 1-0 in early July.
I have to go with this solid Godoy Cruz, one of the biggest surprises of the tournament and a very good attacking team.
