Godoy Cruz vs San LorenzoÂ
Godoy Cruz couldn’t hold onto their 1-0 lead and had to settle for a 1-1 away draw at Banfield last Saturday. That result means the team are now winless in their last five league games (two stalemates and three defeats since beating Sarandi Arsenal 1-0 at home in round 17. As a result of this negative streak, El Tomba remain on 33 points in the Liga Profesional andare still unable to approach the Copa Sudamericana spots in the aggregate table (their main aim after having left the relegation threats behind).
San Lorenzo stopped their six-match winless streak of four draws and two defeats in the best possible occasion: the team beat arch-rivals Huracan 1-0 at home thanks to a strike from Ezequiel Cerutti in the third minute of the game. El Ciclon are taking a little breather in the context of an irregular campaign, accumulating now 30 points in the Liga Profesional. This performance is not enough to approach the Copa Sudamericana places in the aggregate table.
After winning the derby on Saturday I can see here a San Lorenzo in much better mood capable of taking at least a draw against this Godoy Cruz that started to struggle lately.
