Godoy Cruz vs Racing
Godoy Cruz registered another scoreless draw last Thursday, this time against Union Santa Fe on the road in an even match. El Tomba made it seven points in the Copa Liga Profesional group B and they also extended their unbeaten streak to six league games (winning two and drawing four). As a result, Daniel Oldra’s men remain into the Copa Sudamericana zone in the aggregate table. Furthermore, Godoy Cruz are without defeat in their last 13 as the hosting side, having won eight and drawn five since losing to Estudiantes 1-0 in February. All regulars are available to host Racing Club on Monday.
Through a massive strike from Gaston Martirena in the seventh minute of stoppage time, Racing Club secured a big 2-1 home success over Newell’s Old Boys last Wednesday. That victory allowed them to become the only group B leaders on 11 points as they remain unbeaten in the Copa Liga Profesional, winning three and drawing two so far. However, La Academia remain out of the continental spots in the aggregate table, trailing Rosario Central (who occupy the last Copa Sudamericana berth) by goal difference.
Two good attacking teams meet here, Racing won’t have their best defender and considering how much they’ve been conceding lately I don’t see how they will improve, so I expect an open game with goals.
