Godoy Cruz vs Banfield Match Preview

Godoy Cruz faces Banfield for the last round of the 1st group in the Argentinian Copa de la Liga Professional.

Godoy Cruz has a pretty average run in the tournament so far, someting that led them out of the competition to qualify in the final stage. Things can turn around only with a miracle for the hosts, as the difference is clear. In the previous round, they suffered a 1-0 defeat against San Lorenzo. No significant misssings are reported for the hosts today.

Banfield, on the other hand, comes from a huge 1-0 win over River Plate. They've managed to put an end to a very bad streak of 4 consecutive defeats in the league, and now, they are ranked 7th in the table with a total of 17 points. However, it's still possible for them to reach the top-four spots, but it's really very difficult to achieve it. Mauricio Cuero was red-carded in tje last match and will not compete today. Despite this missing, no other troubles are reported for Javier Sanguinetti's team.

Both sides play without any goals or motivation in the competition since hopes are lost for qualification. I expect a fast paced game with many goals. Over 2.5 goals is my final call.
