Sarmiento Junin vs Godoy Cruz Prediction: Will Rany of the teams be able to bounce back?

In the second round of Torneo Betano 2025, Sarmiento Junin hosts Godoy Cruz in a game that doesn’t need a minute to become interesting. Both teams will be hoping to bounce back from their performances in the opening round to get their first win of the season.

Sarmiento Junin (L)

This comes after Sarmiento Junin drew 1-1 with Defensa y Justicia in their opening round. Sarmiento had 42 per cent possession but made 15 attempts at goal, of which four were on target. Sarmientos Ismael Morales put them ahead in the 26th minute but they could not make good on it and fell behind again in the 32nd minute when Defensa equalized. Sarmiento demonstrated a bit more resolve but, finishing their chances in front of goal, failed to be made with enough efficiency. In this one, coach Mario Sciacqua may put the emphasis on converting opportunities.

Godoy Cruz (L)

Godoy Cruz were hammered 3-0 by Rosario Central in their opening fixture. Despite 56 per cent possession and 10 goal attempts, Godoy Cruz failed to muster a single shot on target. Goals from Enzo Copetti and Jáminton Campaz were enough to make Rosario Central's clincial finishing prove decisive. Godoy Cruz defensive frailty against counterattacks was shown and need to be solved until this encounter. Basically they have to find ways to be much tighter at the back and much more cohesive offensively.
