Talleres vs Godoy Cruz

Talleres see their title dream fading away. Last Saturday, the team couldn’t hold onto their lead after scoring in the second minute of the game and ended up suffering a devastating 2-1 away defeat at Lanus. As a result, they remain on 40 points in second spot of the Liga Profesional table, which is an excellent campaign, but the gap behind leaders River Plate is now ten points. Javier Gandolfi’s men put an end to their seven-match unbeaten streak of six victories and one draw in this competition, but they secured 16 points from the last 18 available at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes.

Godoy Cruz returned to winning ways last time out, producing one of their best performances of the season to thrash Boca Juniors 4-0 at home. El Tomba continue living a remarkable campaign in the Liga Profesional: having lost only two of their last 12 matches in this competition (alongside five victories and five draws), they made it 32 points to continue occupying one of the Copa Sudamericana places so far. On a sorry note, Godoy Cruz are on four away matches without a win, having taken two points from 12 available in that spell.

Talleres scored at least once in their last 9 games, Godoy Cruz scored 2+ goals in 4 of their last 6 games so I expect to see goals here as well between two solid teams that need wins to climb and reach cups qualification positions.
