Godoy Cruz vs Argentinos Jrs
Godoy Cruz are experiencing a mini crisis at the moment. Last Sunday, the team couldn’t stop Talleres’ offensive power and ended up losing 3-1 on away turf. Therefore, they are now without a win in the last seven league games (three draws and four defeats). El Tomba remain on 34 points in the Liga Profesional, which is a good campaign that allowed them to secure their top-flight status for next season, but not enough to fight for one of the Copa Sudamericana tickets in the remaining rounds. Godoy Cruz are winless in their last three games at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas, having taken only two points in that spell.
Argentinos Juniors fans will have felt frustrated after their 1-1 home draw against Huracan last Monday as the team dominated the game for most of the time. However, El Bicho are experiencing good form lately, having lost only one of their last four league games (along with two victories and one stalemate). As a result, they made it 37 points in the Liga Profesional, which places them into the last Copa Libertadores berth in the 2022 aggregate table. Argentinos also are on two consecutive victories on the road, having beaten Colon and Lanus in that time (both 4-0).
Argentinos come to this game in much better form and with a clear objective in mind: jump into Copa Libertadores zone after Gimnasia’s defeat on Wednesday, so I’ll trust them to take what they need.
