Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Boca Unidos & Godoy Cruz face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Argentina. All the pre-match information is available here!
The hosts Unidos saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Torneo Federal A. That game was an away game at Douglas Haig, so at least Unidos are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
These teams have little in common geographically as Godoy Cruz have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Boca Unidos form and stats
Unidos was eliminated in the 16th finals last season in the Copa Argentina.This match is a Copa Argentina match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses in this competition.
Unidos enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Douglas Haig's place. The match ended 2-1 with M. Peralta and L. Niz scoring. Previous to that game, a Torneo Federal A home match hosting Gimnasia Concepcion in a game that was won 1-0.
Some amazing scenes last match, when L. Niz scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Sportivo Las Parejas are coming to town in two days.
Godoy Cruz form and stats
They also participated in Copa Argentina last season. This ended in the 8th finals.The manager S. Méndez Pardiñas was unhappy after their last game, a Superliga match played at their home ground Estadio Malvinas Argentinas. Godoy suffered a 0-1 loss to Banfield. It was a Superliga defeat before that one as the away game against San Lorenzo wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Godoy had apparently made the football gods angry before the game against Banfield, losing the match after hitting the woodwork three times.
