Platense – Godoy Cruz

Platense wasted a big chance to approach the Copa Sudamericana zone last time out, when they drew 0-0 away at Lanus in a six-pointer last Monday, claiming for a disallowed goal in the 89th minute. Unbeaten in their last nine league games (three victories and six stalemates), El Calamar are on 30 points in the Liga Profesional, now trailing the last continental berth in the aggregate table by four points. Platense haven’t lost any of their last four at home, winning two and drawing two. Winger Guido Mainero returns from suspension on Monday.

Godoy Cruz are now going through a little slump. Last time out, they succumbed to a heavy blow, losing 1-0 to Talleres at home in a six-pointer regarding the Copa Libertadores’ tickets for next season. El Tomba are now on four league matches without a win, drawing two and losing two in that time. Accumulating 28 points in the Liga Profesional, they dropped down to seventh spot in the aggregate table, now qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana. Godoy Cruz won only one of their last five on away turf, along with two stalemates and two losses.

Platense has been solid conceding only 2 goals over the last 8 games and should beat this Godoy Cruz that has looked disappointing lately.
