The 9th round of the Torneo Betano 2025 features an intriguing clash between Instituto and Godoy Cruz. Both sides are seeking to build on mixed rounds all-round.
Instituto (LLLDL)
Their loss against Argentinos Juniors 2-0, was their last match. Most of the team’s play was geared towards counterattacking, and only managed to muster 36% possession of the ball and few offensive opportunities. But Instituto conceded twice in the second half, Rodigrez A. and Molina T. with the goals for the opposition. A lack of offensive efficiency, and one which they need to rectify in this fixture, was shown with just two shots on target in this game.
Godoy Cruz (WLDWD)
Meanwhile, Godoy Cruz, were to bounce back with a win in their last match before home against Barracas Central. However, the team displayed resilience and gave a solid defensive display to pick up an important three points. However, they previously lost 2-1 to Tigre to which they equalized in the 51st, Bruera F. but kicked a late one. While Godoy Cruz enjoyed having a tenuous advantage in terms of possession (51%), they allowed 16 shots against from the opponent, six of them on target further highlighting defensive shortcomings. But this brings back some confidence for this encounter, indeed their latest win against Barracas Central.
Expert Betting Tips
Instituto and Godoy Cruz arrive to this encounter with different momentum, Godoy Cruz who are in momentum having won their last game and Instituto who are struggling to find the net. Instituto, however, could benefit from the home advantage but with their problems of not being creative enough in attacking. In the meantime, Godoy Cruz offers better efficiency of late and could take advantage of Instituto’s fragilities. Things will need to improve for both attacking output on the part of Instituto, as well as defensive solidity and recent form from Godoy Cruz. A few clear cut chances will be hard to come by in this game that could be very close.
