Vélez Sarsfield form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Vélez Sarsfield's two home games in the Superliga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estadio José Amalfitani.

Vélez Sarsfield's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Lanús. A strong away win before that one, visiting Newell's Old Boys and winning 1-0.

The penalty miss from C. Tarragona in the defeat against Lanús was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

The manager M. Pellegrino will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Lanús in only four days.

At Estadio José Amalfitani, Vélez Sarsfield has the goal stats of 4-4 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Godoy Cruz form and stats

The Superliga season is young and Godoy Cruz, who have the fewest scored goals (3) in Superliga, have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

Impressive finishing from Tomás Badaloni secured the home win 1-0 against Estudiantes in their previous game. A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs JJ Urquiza.

The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it. Looking at similar away games for Godoy Cruz we find two games. Results are zero Godoy Cruz wins, zero draws and two defeats.

It's early days yet, but Godoy Cruz has scored 2 and conceded 7 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
