Central Cordoba vs Godoy Cruz
CA Central Cordoba succumbed to a heavy blow on their visit to Banfield last Monday, when they lost 1-0 away in a hard-fought game. That defeat means their three-game unbeaten streak of two victories and one draw in league action came to an end. Leonardo Madelon’s men remain on 15 points in the Liga Profesional and are now just three points above the first relegation spot in the point-average rankings, shared by Sarmiento and Platense (who would have to meet each other in a playoff if the season ended now). On a positive note, Central are on four home matches unbeaten, winning three and drawing one in that spell.
Thanks to a penalty netted by Diego Rodriguez in the 92nd minute, Godoy Cruz avoided a home defeat against Lanus and ended up drawing 4-4 in a thrilling match under interim boss Daniel Oldra. Through that scoreline, El Tomba made it two victories and two draws across their last five league games, losing only once in that time, to remain in the top half of the Liga Profesional table on 17 points. On away turf, Godoy Cruz secured six points in as many matches this term, winning two and losing four.
Central Cordoba has scored at least once in their last 4 home games, the last 7 Godoy Cruz games had at least 2+ goals (including a 3-2 and 4-4 in the last two) so I’m going with the over here as neither team will have important missings.
