Godoy Cruz vs Boca
Godoy Cruz played one of their worst games in this competition last Saturday and they succumbed to a deserved 3-1 away defeat at Barracas Central. As a result, the team are on three league games without a win (one draw and two defeats) in the context of a very good campaign: the team earned 32 points in 20 matches, which allowed them to forget about relegation and climb into one of the Copa Sudamericana places in the 2022 aggregate table. El Tomba have been unbeaten in their last 14 home matches, registering seven victories and seven draws since losing to Aldosivi 2-0 at home in February.
Boca Juniors couldn’t handle coach Hugo Ibarra’s decision to rotate his players and had to settle for a scoreless home draw against Huracan last Monday. As a result, the team couldn’t climb into the top of the league table as they are now on 36 points in the Liga Profesional, trailing leaders Atletico Tucuman by two. However, El Xeneize have been unbeaten in their last nine matches in this competition, winning six and drawing three in that spell.
Even though Boca’s results have been quite good lately, they are playing just awful and in most of those games they were lucky to win them. Today they will miss at least 5 starters due to injuries and suspensions, so it looks like a great opportunity for Godoy Cruz to take the 3 points.
