Superliga: Rosario Central - Godoy Cruz preview and statistics

It's no vacation for neither Rosario Central nor Godoy Cruz as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Godoy Cruz have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Rosario Central form and stats

Rosario Central have played 5 Superliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager D. Cocca led his Rosario Central to a defeat in the Superliga match away at Estudiantes. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Dr. Lisandro de la Torre. Ahead of that match, Rosario Central lost 0-1 at home to Vélez Sarsfield.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Rosario Central matches with similar probabilities have ended with 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats (from six games).

Rosario Central have scored 4 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. Rosario Central are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Dr. Lisandro de la Torre in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.

Godoy Cruz form and stats

Godoy Cruz, who have the most conceded goals (22) in Superliga, have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 5 away matches played so far in the Superliga. Bitter travels for Godoy Cruz as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the San Lorenzo match.

Godoy Cruz are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the Superliga against Aldosivi (placed 22nd). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Colón wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Godoy Cruz playing away, we found four games. Results were 3 away wins, 0 draws and 1 home win.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Godoy Cruz as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. For Godoy Cruz, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
