River Plate vs Godoy Cruz

After their unexpected slump against Sarandi Arsenal at home, River Plate made a great recovery by beating Lanus (who were league leaders beforehand) 2-0 away thanks to goals from Jose Paradela and Lucas Beltran. Martin Demichelis’ men made it three victories across their last four league games, along with a single defeat, to accumulate 12 points in the Liga Profesional, trailing table toppers San Lorenzo and Defensa y Justicia by one at the moment. At their own stadium, River took three points from six on offer so far this season following one win and one defeat.

Thanks to goals from Tomas Conechny and Salomon Rodriguez, Godoy Cruz secured a key 2-0 home success over Racing Club last Monday. That result allowed the team to break a worrying three-match losing streak in league action and coach Diego Flores to take a little breather when his job was in danger. El Tomba made it nine points in six matches in 2023, occupying 13th spot on the league table. On away turf, Godoy Cruz lost their last two (at San Lorenzo and Rosario Central without even scoring).

Godoy Cruz is a different team when playing away, and this River that started to play better lately should be able to beat them at home.
