National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Godoy Cruz or Belgrano that keep their silverware dream alive.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Godoy Cruz form and stats

Last season their Copa Argentina adventure ended in the semi-finals.

Godoy Cruz are returning here after visiting Newell's Old Boys and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Ramírez and Ojeda scored the goal(s). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Orsi when Ramírez scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 62nd minute. Midfielder Ojeda was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.64 (out of ten) in that game. Ojeda scored one goal, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 53 successful passes (of 62 total).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Superliga home game that ended 1-1 versus Independiente.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Godoy have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 7 and lost 1.

Belgrano form and stats

Belgrano's mission in Copa Argentina last season failed in the 16th finals.

As the visiting team in Primera B Nacional matches, Belgrano have produced an overall stat of 7-5-3 so far.

Belgrano play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Agropecuario.

Before that, Belgrano travelled to Quilmes and returned home with a draw after the Primera B Nacional game finished 0-0.

A new game in only four days for Belgrano, the Primera B Nacional home match versus Tristan Suarez. Busy days.

The visitors have scored 12 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's not easy to score on Belgrano as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head
