Godoy Cruz take on the visitors Defensa y Justicia in the round 4 match of Argentinian Liga Profesional. The match will be played on Monday, June 20th at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas (Mendoza).
Godoy Cruz has recently lost their ground. "El Expreso" not so long ago, in the 2017/2018 draw, reached its peak, becoming the vice-champion of the country. But then the positions were again lost. The White-Blues finished the last season with a mediocre 17th place. In Copa Diego Maradona Trophy in the spring, they managed to collect only 16 points, which was one of the worst results in their group. In the Cup, however, it turned out to confidently deal with Tristan Suarez, but Primera started with 1-2 defeat on the Platense field. For this, they rehabilitated themselves with a confident 2-0 victory over Racing. But the trip to Rosario Central ended with another defeat - 0-1.

Defensa y Justicia have set themselves a fairly high bar. "Halcón" only in 2014 were able to stake out the right to finally play in the elite division. And pretty quickly turned there from a no-name debutant into a serious force. Of course, the victory in Copa Sudamericana 2020, when Hernan Crespo was the head coach, stands apart. In the last draw, the Argentines took Recopa, and in the Liga they managed to achieve the 2nd place. In Copa Diego Maradona, they managed to take significant 25 points and get into the playoffs from 3rd place in his group. But already in the quarter-finals there they had to play with Boca Juniors on their field, and it all ended with defeat 0-2. At the same time, the Argentines failed in the Copa Sudamericana, gaining only 4 points and taking only the last place in the quartet table. The Liga started with a goalless draw with the grand, River Plate. But then the points were shared with Lanus and, at home, with Huracan.
Defensa y Justitia had a 7-game unbeaten streak in head-to-heads, including 3 wins. But in the middle of last summer, Godoy Cruz managed to win 2-1 away. Bookmakers give a small advantage to Godoy Cruz, who play at home. But in any case, you should not expect an abundance of goals - a solid option looks like "under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
