It's the second try for points this season as Colón and Godoy Cruz cross swords at Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López.
Godoy Cruz have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
The hosts Colón saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Superliga. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Boca Juniors.
Colón form and stats
In the previous season, Colón's league results were 5 wins, 3 draws and 15 losses, ending with 23rd spot in the Superliga. During these 23 matches they scored 17 goals and let in 39. Playing as the home team in the former season Colón managed 5-2-5 (win-draw-lost) with 12 goals and 17 conceded.
The home team returns to Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López after drawing with Boca Juniors (placed 6th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. Aliendro (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.8/10. Aliendro hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Union Santa Fe (0-3).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 Colón have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost four.

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Racing Club's place.Godoy are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, four draws and eight defeats. From a total of 13 matches.
After this away game Godoy Cruz return home for a Superliga game against Aldosivi. That game is only four sleeps after this.
