Big-shot Godoy Cruz come to Sarmiento after their 2-0-result against Aldosivi. Check out our thorough preview!

Insights:
  • Sarmiento have the most conceded goals in the second half (28) in Superliga
  • Godoy Cruz have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These teams have little in common geographically as Godoy Cruz have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

These are busy days for the host team, as they played only four days ago in the Superliga. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Huracan.

Godoy Cruz form and stats

There's been little loot from Godoy Cruz's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 7 away games in the Superliga. Godoy Cruz only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws. Godoy seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Impressive finishing from Allende and Rodríguez secured the home win 2-0 against Aldosivi in their previous game. That victory felt sweet as this club had gone four league fixtures without winning. Ojeda got a match rating of 8.0 in that game, top player of the team. Ojeda served one assist, hit seven key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 20 successful passes (of 24 total).

Prior to that match, the Godoy Cruz manager Orsi faced defeat when travelling to Gimnasia La Plata and losing 0-2.

Few goals the story here? 9 of this side's last 12 league fixtures have had two goals or less.

The attacking power of Godoy when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. 8 goals have been conceded by Godoy Cruz in these games.
