Godoy Cruz vs Belgrano
Godoy Cruz succumbed to a heavy blow on their visit to River Plate last Sunday. They couldn’t stop the hosts’ offensive power and ended up losing 3-0 away from home. That result represented their fourth defeat in the last five league games, winning only once in that span. As a result, El Tomba remain on nine points after seven Liga Profesional matches in 2023, occupying 15th spot in the league table so far. Six of those points were claimed at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas, where Godoy Cruz registered two victories and one loss this term.
Belgrano had a rough night last Saturday and their fans will have felt lucky after the team’s scoreless home draw against Lanus as the visitors dominated the game. El Pirata made it 11 points in seven matches in their return to the top flight, which is an interesting campaign that keeps them safe. However, the team claimed a single victory across their last four matches in this competition, drawing one and losing two. On a positive note, Belgrano grabbed seven points from 12 on offer on away turf as a product of two victories, one stalemate and one defeat so far.
Both have only 4 goals scored each after 7 rounds, all Belgrano goals were scored by striker Pablo Vegetti showing how much they depend on one man, so I expect a tight game here and the odds on the hosts look too low so I’ll go with the visitors not to lose.
