Central Cordoba vs Godoy Cruz
CA Central Cordoba experienced another rough night last Thursday and succumbed to a 2-0 away defeat at Huracan. Therefore, the team are now on three matches without a win in league action, having drawn one and lost two in that spell. El Ferroviario remain on 18 points in 17 matches, which places them only three points above the first relegation spot in the respective table, occupied by Aldosivi. On a positive note, Abel Balbo’s men have been unbeaten in their last three home matches, with two victories and one draw.
Godoy Cruz are one of the best teams in the league at the moment. Last Monday, an early goal from Martin Ojeda gave them a big 1-0 home success over Sarandi Arsenal. Thanks to that win, El Tomba made it 31 points in the Liga Profesional, just two behind leaders, after five league matches without defeat (four victories and one draw). The team seem to be forgetting about relegation and continue sitting into the Copa Sudamericana zone in the aggregate table. Furthermore, Godoy Cruz won their last two away matches at Sarmiento and Newell’s Old Boys.
Huge relegation game, Godoy Cruz seems safe in that table but Central Cordoba can’t afford to lose more points, so I expect them to take risks and that’s dangerous against this solid Godoy Cruz.
