Superliga match preview: Belgrano versus Godoy Cruz

Competition: Argentina Superliga
Date: Sun 07.April
Match begins: 18:15 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Julio César Villagra (28000 seats)

Season ticket holders at Estadio Julio César Villagra haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Belgrano languishing in the 26th position so far. The guesting Godoy Cruz will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Godoy Cruz could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Copa Libertadores game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Univ. Concepcion, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Godoy Cruz.

Godoy Cruz form and stats

Godoy Cruz have only collected 9 points from their away games after 2-3-6 (11 played). It's been quite a sequence of draws for Godoy Cruz when traveling as their last four away games have all ended all square. Not since the Racing Club match has the points been distributed unevenly.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Univ. Concepcion in their previous outing. The Copa Libertadores match ended in a draw 0-0. Before that, Godoy Cruz secured a home win against Patronato with the score 2-1.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Godoy Cruz manager L. Bernardi as the team has another away game coming up in only two days, this time against Olimpia.

The attacking power of Godoy Cruz when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored in 11 matches. As opposed to that, Godoy Cruz have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Last six meetings between the teams: Belgrano won 1, Godoy Cruz won 5 and 0 draws.
