Godoy Cruz vs Estudiantes L.P. Match Preview

Godoy Cruz faces Estudiantes L.P. at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas for the 2nd round of Copa de la Liga Profesional. The match will be held behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The hosts did a good start in Copa Liga, prevailing over Aldosivi by 1-2. Their performance was below average, but still, they managed to get all three points. The team and club dedicated this victory in the memory of Santiago Garcia, who died a few weeks ago.

No significant changes are expected by the manager Sebastian Mendez for today's match. The team needs improvement in order to have a successful season, as the following matches will get tougher. In the following round, they will come up against Rosario Central.

Estudiantes, on the other hand, comes from a big win over the strong River Plate in the previous round. The team improved a lot since the last competition and this victory brought optimism and motivation again to the players. They found themselves back in the scoreline by 0-1, but managed to make a huge comeback in the game, despite playing with a player less after Fernando Tobio got red-carded. This was the ideal start for their new manager Ricardo Zielinsky.

Everybody in the club expects a huge improvement since Ricardo Zielinsky is a really good manager. The only missing for tonight's game is suspended Tobio.

Both sides started well in the new competition and will try their best to qualify to the next stage. They usually play very offensively and that's why I'll pick BTTS: Yes for this one.
