Both sides are in pretty good shape, Lanús enjoying a 2 point edge on Godoy Cruz in the standings. Bring it on!

Insights:
  • Godoy Cruz have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.

Lanús have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

There have been little to rest for the team playing at home, as they were involved in a Superliga match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Arsenal de Sarandi, so at least Godoy Cruz are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

A strong away win for Godoy against Arsenal de Sarandi the last match, as Allende and Rodríguez were on target. The victory against Arsenal de Sarandi came after Allende's winning goal. The Godoy Cruz manager Flores was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 46th minute. López, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the declared top player for the team in that match, and was presented with a rating of 7.6 (out of 10). López hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 6 of 9 times.

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

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Godoy Cruz have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 16 matches with the results: Won 6, drawn 6 and lost 4.
