Godoy Cruz is the worst side in the league so far. Last time out, they suffered a 2-0 away defeat at Defensa y Justicia, which means the team lost four of their last five matches in the Superliga, winning only once. El Tomba is bottom on nine points and was beaten in five of their last six matches at home, only beating Aldosivi in that span. Godoy Cruz’s new boss Mario Sciacqua will miss Santiago Garcia (who will serve his fourth game suspended) and Juan Brunetta (involved in the Pre-Olympic Tournament).
Thanks to a brace from Rafael Borre, River Plate beat Independiente 2-1 away last Sunday. Therefore, the team are now league leaders alongside Argentinos Juniors on 30 points after 16 rounds. El Millonario also remains as the best away team in the Superliga, with six victories and two draws. River Plate players Lucas Martinez Quarta and Nicolas De la Cruz have served their respective bans while Juan Quintero overcame gastroenteritis and is available.
The best attack in the league by far meets the worst defense in the league by far, so I have to expect goals here.
