In their turn, Godoy Cruz opened the season with 1:0 loss to Atletico Tucuman, followed it with triumphs over Newells Old Boys and Talleres Cordoba in the Copa Argentina with 1:4 failure to Boca Juniors on the road. Nevertheless, afterwards the side managed to get two wins over Independiente 1:0 and Banfield 2:1 in the Copa Argentina. The Uruguayan striker Santiago Garcia can be named for sure the strongest player in the club’s roster as he has scored two goals already in the Superliga. Forward Felipe Jorge Rodriguez Valla and the Paraguayan defender Danilo Ortiz will not help their teammates in the game against Newells Old Boys.
The rivals combined at least two goals in their four previous head-to-heads. That statistics is also applicable to 11 consecutive clashes at Newells Old Boys’ pitch. At the moment the hosts show inconsistent defense while the visiting side regularly scores. Therefore, we presume that two scored goals shouldn’t become a sensation in the forthcoming battle, especially there is a great chance to use a high coefficient for the odd over 1.5 scored goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 1.5 scored goals.
