Season ticket holders at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Godoy Cruz languishing in the 24th position so far. The guesting Independiente will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Godoy Cruz form and stats
With 2 Superliga wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Godoy Cruz, who have the most conceded goals (27) in Superliga, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The fans are hoping that Godoy Cruz will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-5 away loss in the Superliga game against Rosario Central (placed 13th). Ahead of that match, Godoy Cruz won a home game hosting Aldosivi (3-2).
A goal frenzy last time out for Godoy Cruz, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Rosario Central. Fun stuff to watch!
The Godoy Cruz fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Godoy Cruz with 12 goals conceded in these matches.
Independiente form and stats
Playing away, Independiente have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 3 defeats in the Superliga this season.
The supporters enjoyed Independiente's previous game versus San Lorenzo (placed 15th), a Superliga 2-1 win played at home. Before that, Independiente travelled to Unión Santa Fe and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Independiente as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. 8 goals have been conceded by Independiente in these games.
