Competition: Argentina Superliga
Competition: Tue 04.October
Match begins: 19:30 (UTC)
Venue: Estadio Malvinas Argentinas (40268 seats)

Godoy Cruz have delivered well so far, being 8th place in the table. San Lorenzo can look both up and down from the 12th position.

Insights:
  • Godoy Cruz have the most points from losing position (18) in Superliga
  • San Lorenzo have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These teams have little in common geographically as San Lorenzo have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

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

21 points is a decent return from 10 Superliga games here at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas for Godoy Cruz. The data says 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss.

Godoy Cruz travelled for their previous game, a trip to Banfield that ended 1-1. Badaloni, a striker, was the best performer for the team in that match, collecting a rating of 7.63 (out of 10). Badaloni scored one goal, hit the woodwork once and hit one key pass.

In the match before, 1-1 away to Banfield (after extra-time, 3-1 on penalties) (Copa Argentina). This is expected to be a close game, with Godoy Cruz perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Godoy as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Godoy Cruz has won 7 of these, drawn 4 and lost 3.

The Godoy Cruz fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. From these home matches, Godoy Cruz have conceded only 6 goals.
