Godoy Cruz vs Sarmiento Junin: Prediction for the Match on July 20 2025

In the second leg of Torneo Betano 2025 Clausura, Godoy Cruz and Sarmiento Junin are to play an essential game. The two teams are desperate to climb their positions, as they have not performed well in the initial phase of the tournament.

Godoy Cruz: Form and Statistics

Godoy Cruz is still on the hunt of consistency when they ended in a 1-1 draw in Rosario Central. Having gone ahead, they failed to maintain it, indicative of their current tendency to give away goals late. In the previous five games in all competitions, they have won once, drew three, and lost one. They have only managed to score three goals and have conceded five in the same period and this shows that they lack cutting edge in the forward areas. Godoy Cruz has a 63 percent clean sheet record at home.

Godoy Cruz: Lineup

Coach Solari will most probably use his usual 4-2-3-1 formation. Dupuy supported by Auzmendi should be the ones that begin in the front, with the intention of ending their scoring streak, and Andino and Altamira on the wings giving support.

� Godoy Cruz starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Petroli – Arce, Mendoza, Quiroz, Meli – Abrego, Poggi – Andino, Auzmendi, Altamira – Dupuy

⛔️ Out: Rossi, Ulariaga ( injured) Barrea (red card)

Sarmiento Junin: Form and Statistics

Sarmiento Junin are fighting back with a 2-2 draw in their last match at home against Independiente. They have been resilient in the recent past with the three draws in a row but vulnerabilities are still present in defense. The squad has surrendered five of the past six games and has only kept one clean sheet during the period. On the other hand, in the offensive they have been able to score four matches straight. They have recorded an irregular performance away, where they have won just once in the past six matches.

Sarmiento Junin: Lineup

Sanguinetti will want to continue believing in his attacking formation, lining up in a 4-4-2. Suhr and Frias will be playing as the main striking forces with Contrera and Diaz on the sides.

Acosta – Vallejos, Insaurralde, Roncaglia, Godoy – Contrera, Villalba, Gimenez, Diaz – Suhr, Frias
