Racing vs Godoy Cruz

Racing Club continues to improve game after game under the direction of coach Gustavo Costas. On Monday, the team showed very good football and beat Newell’s Old Boys 4-0, who had previously been perfect in this competition. Therefore, La Academia is undefeated in its last four Professional League Cup matches, having won three and drawn one in that time. The team was placed with ten points in group B, still occupying one of the playoff positions and three points behind the leader Godoy Cruz. Racing won four and drew one of its last six home games, losing only to Unión Santa Fe.

Godoy Cruz fans will have been frustrated on Tuesday night, when the team deflated their usual performance and had to settle for a goalless draw at home against Unión Santa Fe. However, El Tomba took advantage of the defeat of Newell’s Old Boys and became the only leader of group B with 13 points (without even having conceded a goal), also adding seven undefeated league games (four wins and three draws in regulation time). Godoy Cruz has also not lost in his last three away games, having won two and drawn one.

Racing has been a scoring machine lately, so this could be the time Godoy Cruz finally concedes a goal after 5 games finishing undefeated. Even without their playmaker Hernán López, they have looked good and can definitely hurt Racing on the counterattacks, so while I think this should be a victory for the home team considering how strong they have been in the last few games, I will go for the OVER because we should definitely have at least a couple of goals.
