Godoy Cruz vs Platense Prediction: Can Godoy Cruz enter top 8 in this round?

What should intensify when Platense travels to Godoy Cruz in what will be a seven round of Torneo Betano 2025. The performances of both teams will be looked upon to build on.

Godoy Cruz (WDLDL)

Before going on this tour, Godoy Cruz claimed its last victory, 2-0 victory in Vélez Sarsfield in the previous round. Though with only 31% possession, they were atrociously clinical though when they had few chances. They were also in front early as Pizzini (18') made it 0-1 and Altamira (28') made it 0-2. Vélez took 17 shots that day but only 4 were on target, while they were solid at the back. They created a lot of chances, but were highly efficient with them (xG = 0.21). They will need to rebuild defensively and look threatening on the counter, all while returning home to tip Platense.

Platense (DLWLW)

In their last match, Platense played out a 1-1 draw as they visited Independiente. Indeed, this was a game with few clear cut chances, which is reflected in Independiente’s xG of 0.61 versus their opponents’ 0.54. Diego Paredes scored a heartbreaking 89th minute equalizer (own goal), meaning Platense lead 1-0 until the 76th minute when a Vázques own goal gave them the lead. So they had the level of competitiveness, because they controlled 45% of possession, they had 9 shots, and 2 shots on target. But their attack had lost its sharpness, and they must be more clinical in front of Godoy Cruz.
