Godoy Cruz vs Talleres Cordoba Prediction: Talleres need to return to victories fast to still fight for the top places

The third round of the Torneo Betano 2025 features a compelling matchup as Godoy Cruz hosts Talleres Córdoba. The two teams will be keen to bounce back after each team’s result at their defending round but will be needing to secure an important three points in this fixture.

Godoy Cruz (DL)

This is the second round for the pair and they were goalless in the previous match, the game at home in which Godoy Cruz holds a two point lead over Union de San Felipe. Even if they had the upper hand in possession (53%) and were to eight shots on target, only two of those were on target and they were unable to create a final third turn. But, their defense had been solid, goalkeeper Barrea making key saves to keep the clean sheet intact. Of course that created opportunities, but making full use of that opportunity remains a problem of inefficiency. In addition, Godoy Cruz will concentrate on returning to the attack that they showed in the previous game.

Talleres Cordoba (LL)

Meanwhile, Talleres Córdoba lost 2-3 to Independiente in a crazy game. Talleres quickly took an early lead through an own goal if it was not for that Talleres defended poorly, conceding twice in the first half. Depietri’s late equaliser in the 85th minute failed to prevent Independiente from collecting a last-gasp winner from Cabral, however, that saw them dashed of their chances of a point. Talleres had the better of possession (57%) with 15 attempts on target but were undone by lapses at the back. For them, the task will be to meld more cohesive defensive play with the attacking creativity they bring to the pitch against a disciplined Godoy Cruz.

The clash between Godoy Cruz’s stability and Talleres Córdoba’s desire to dominate should be a close one. Even though Godoy Cruz have their own attacking quality, they have defended poorly enough to be exposed against Talleres Córdoba’s organized approach. However, despite that, a draw seems likely and Godoy Cruz’s own home advantage could push the balance of power in their favour.
