Sarmiento – Godoy Cruz

Sarmiento’s two-match winning streak came to an end in the worst possible way: the team were dominated from beginning to end last Friday and lost 4-1 away at Huracan. However, Israel Damonte’s men remain on 17 points, which is still a decent campaign for a team who are fighting to avoid relegation: they are now sitting in the 24th place of the respective table. Sarmiento have been confident at home in the Liga Profesional, having won four, drawn one and lost one so far.

Godoy Cruz showed an improved version last Thursday and put an end to their four-game winless streak (two draws and two losses) by beating Aldosivi 2-0 at home. It was a big success as the team opened a seven-point gap over their last opponents, who are occupying the first drop spot in the relegation table. El Tomba are performing quite well in the Liga Profesional, accumulating 21 points and approaching the Copa Sudamericana places in the aggregate table.

Sarmiento comes from conceding 4 just a few days ago, taking their average to more than 1 goal per game in 13 rounds and I think they should have problems again against this solid Godoy Cruz, so I expect an open game here.
