Godoy Cruz: form and statistics

On a slightly more difficult path so far, Godoy Cruz has 3 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses (17 points). They've only managed 8 goals and have conceded 15. This implies that they are inefficient in attack and vulnerable in defense as their xGA of 1.46 and xG of 1.20 do not add up. They enter this game with a much needed win after 4 games without one (W1 D2 L2). However, their away form has been slightly more secure than home, while poor home record.

Godoy Cruz: Lineup

Godoy Cruz goals are expected to be supplied by creative midfielders Gonzalo Abrego and Fernandez, and forwards Daniel Barrea and Agustín Auzmendi are expected to play a part in the line up in a 4-3-3. A physically tough Riestra is one that the backline of Rossi and Rasmussen will have to weather. Franco Petroli has been an important member of the team, mainly because of their low scoring rate (0.53 goals/game).

� Godoy Cruz starting lineup (4-3-3)

Petroli – Rasmussen, Arce, Rossi, Valencia – Poggi, Abrego, Fernández Fagúndez – Andino, Barrea, Auzmendi

⛔️ Out: Jara, Ulariaga ( injured)
