Godoy Cruz – Deportivo Riestra

Godoy Cruz are returning to their usual standards. Last Monday, the team secured a massive 2-0 away success at Tigre thanks to goals from Facundo Altamira and Salomon Rodriguez. El Tomba made it two league wins in a row and three across their last four games in this competition, along with one loss. Daniel Oldra’s men accumulate 12 points in the Liga Profesional (with one game in hand) to climb into sixth spot of the aggregate table, missing the last Copa Libertadores’ berth just by goal difference. Furthermore, Godoy Cruz took seven points from the last nine on offer as the hosting side.

Deportivo Riestra took another big step in their fight to stay in the top flight last time out, beating Lanus 3-1 at home following a convincing performance. El Malevo made it three victories across their last four league games, along with a single defeat, to accumulate 15 points in ten Liga Profesional matches, opening a five-point gap over bottom-placed Independiente Rivadavia in the point-average table. On a sorry note, Riestra managed a single point across their last six away matches.

Riestra has scored in each of their last 6 games, but they’ve been quite poor when playing away, losing all 4 in this tournament conceding 7 goals. Godoy Cruz has scored in their last 4 home games but also conceded in 3 of them, so this short totals line looks like a good bet.

BET: OVER 1.75 @ 1.79
