Estudiantes vs Godoy Cruz
Estudiantes deflated their performance in the last league game and ended up losing 2-1 away at Lanus after conceding the winner just six minutes before the final whistle. The defending champions were displaced from the top of the Liga Profesional table as they remain on six points after three rounds, and they also saw an eight-game unbeaten streak of six victories and two draws in league action coming to an end. In addition, El Pincha are on three domestic victories in a row as the hosting side. On Wednesday 29, Estudiantes lost 4-3 at home to Chile’s Huachipato FC in a Copa Libertadores group game.
Godoy Cruz saw their home match against San Lorenzo in MD3 abandoned due to incidents when the score was 1-1. As a result, El Tomba remain without a win in their last four league games (drawing one and losing three). Having taken a single point from six on offer in the Liga Profesional, they have been displaced from the Copa Libertadores places in the aggregate table. On away turf, Godoy Cruz secured a single victory across their last four league games, along with one stalemate and two defeats in that time.
Estudiantes suffered a tough and unexpected defeat that eliminated them from Copa Libertadores last week and they need to put it behind and recover fast. Godoy Cruz is not the same team they used to be, they couldn’t score in the 1st two games of the season and to make things worse they won’t have their best striker, Tomas Conechny, who is going to be transferred so it looks like a good spot for Estudiantes to get a very needed win.
