Godoy Cruz – Atletico Tucuman

Godoy Cruz seem really tough to beat at the moment. Last Saturday, they secured a massive point on their visit to Independiente, when drawing 1-1 thanks to Salomon Rodriguez’s strike in the 87th minute. El Tomba made it five league matches without defeat, winning two and drawing three to accumulate 27 points in the Liga Profesional, which is enough to stay occupying one of the Copa Libertadores berths in the aggregate rankings. At home, Godoy Cruz have been unbeaten in their last nine, with four wins and five draws in that time. Midfielder Nicolas Fernandez returns from suspension on Thursday.

Atletico Tucuman returned to winning ways last Sunday, taking advantage of Lanus’ alternative XI to beat them 1-0 at home thanks to a strike from Mateo Coronel in the first half. As a result, El Decano put an end to their five-match winless streak of one draw and four defeats to accumulate 29 points in the Liga Profesional, also opening a ten-point gap over the relegation zone in the aggregate table. On away turf, Atletico took a single point from the last 12 available. Coach Facundo Sava can pick from all his regulars to visit Godoy Cruz on Thursday.

Godoy Cruz has scored at least once in 11 of their last 12 games and also the last 9 at home, so I have to take the over on this short totals lines against Atletico who has some good strikers and goals scored in 5 of their last 7 matches.
